Minster stone fireplace - what can I use to clean it please?

[pindy]

I have candle wax over the minster stone, have got the wax off but there is still a stain. Any ideas what I can use to get rid of it.

Thanks.

any thoughts?????????

any thoughts?????????

Surely someone has an idea - or maybe it is ok to leave it as it is!! Least I don't feel quite so bad about cleaning it.

Sorry, have bad news. This happened to mine and absolutely nothing worked to remove it. Tried everything, including grinding the surface down - but it had soaked in!!

Whatever you do, don't try the 'using an iron and teatowel' technique. This makes the stain bigger and brown!!

I ended up just carefully positioning an ornament

thank you - not sure that's what i wanted to hear though - but thanks for replying!

Our fireplace guy gave the various marks on it after he fitted it a rub with a pumice stone. Would that maybe work for yours?

Do you want me to e-mail FIL? Seeing as he makes the things and all

Peachy - that would be great - thanks

Pkey dokey will do- it'll take the old chap a few days to respond no doubt so will put this in my watched threads lsit LOL

Apparently he says to use 100 emery cloth dry rub

hope that helps

will try - thanks - will let you know

Hi we are a stonemasonry firm and has been making stone fireplaces since 1999, once you get the mark out, Have a think of getting it sealed it will only cost £30.00 and it is grate against any stains (But please make sure your fireplace is 100% real stone as I think but not 100% sure that minster stone fireplaces are not 100% real then you will not be able to get it sealed) check with the supplier.

Hope this helps
