I was wondering if you had any advice for me?? We have a cultured stone
fireplace and I gathered wood from our pile outside in a black basket, I
guess the basket got wet on the bottom and the color got all over the stone
hearth. Any ideas on how to remove these stains???
Please help if you can,
THanks,
Amanda

Amanda,
That sounds like an organic stain to me! My Stain Solver oxygen bleach
should do the trick. Go to www.StainSolver.com

I've heard that there is ways to make your own cultured stone. Do you have
any suggestions about how to learn how to do this?? Thanks, Jamie

How do you remove cultured stone from fireplaces? I'd like to redo a wall
in my living room that some "funky" stone on it.
Thanks.

Jon,
I would start with a hammer and chisel. Then upgrade to power tools if that
doesn't work.

I didn't see this question.....My indoor fireplace has man made stone
instead of brick on the outside of it.
After removing the fireplace cover the heat and soot left its mark where
the fireplace cover was. Is there anything I can use to clean it?
Thanks!

Nancy,
You can try Oxygen Bleach. www.oxygenbleach.com
You might try to scrub with soap and water.

Hi - My daughter is in the process of remodeling her new "fixer-upper"
home.
There is an old cultured (like a sandstone type of rock) or manufactured
type. She doesn't care for the look at all, and we are trying to find out
if you can paint or stain the rock.
Thank you for your time.
Nancy
