Question about brick...

[McKenzie]

TweetI know this is a crazy question but I was hoping one of you men would know of something.

I have a fireplace and huge stones that cover a large wall and it also has a brick step like at the bottom. One of my nieces was sitting on the step and spliled coke all over the stone. Now the stone is kinda glazed and discolored. Anyone know what I can use to get the coke off the stone?

TweetA cleaner won't hurt the stone. I'd use something like an ammonia/water solution (just a little ammonia) with a scrub brush.

TweetSOAP AND WATER AND A SCRUB BRUSH. THE AMMONIA THING SHOULD DO IT.

TweetIf all else fails use liquid acetone, which you can pick up at any hardware store. I used it to take paint off concrete, but you have to wear gloves and use a metal bristle brush. It is a strong chemical so you may want to use an air mask or try not to do too much at a time, as it is not good to inhale for too long a period and use in a ventilated area (open the windows). It does take anything off concrete, so it should work on stone as well.

TweetHmm....well I work for a builder and decorate all the models. My knowledge is to only use a mild soap and water with a scrub brush. Cleaning concrete is not the same as cleaning stone. Do NOT use acetone. If this doesn't work let me know and I will see if I can get ya something to use.

TweetI know, lol this was a last resort. If it is decorative stone, i don't think id chance it. Or at least do a little area that you can't see first. coke is not like paint. I was assuming she prob used soap and warm water already.
