Once the stone is clean, rinse with distilled water and buff dry with a soft cloth. You may need to reapply the poultice and clean the stone several times to achieve the desired results. If the poultice loosens the plaster residue, try cleaning the slate with a soft scrub brush and a solution of dish soap and water again. Step 2: Wipe the work surface with the mineral oil with a cloth, and allow the oil to flow into the scratches so that they turn into the original colour of the slate. Visit our Stain Management App for detailed instructions on the poultice method, including a how-to video. Step 1: Clean the area with the scratches with a damp cloth to ensure all dirt and dust is removed. For the type of stain you described, the most appropriate poultice ingredients would be a tablespoon of Dawn dish soap per cup of flour and enough water to create a paste with the consistency of peanut butter. A poultice is an absorbent material applied to the surface of natural stone to draw out a stain. If it does not loosen up, then try the poulticing method. If the plaster residue loosens up at all, keep cleaning until it is completely removed.
First, try cleaning the slate with a soft scrub brush and a solution of dish soap and water.
HOW TO CLEAN SLATE HEARTH HOW TO
We are always happy to provide instructions on how to remove stains from natural stone. Thanks for contacting us with your question. Is there anything that I can do to draw out the stain? I’ve looked everywhere online to try and find a solution but so far haven’t found any help anywhere else. The white rings on your hearth were most.
Always put a dish or container underneath pots to catch water and prevent leaks. It’s really ruined the whole look of our new hearth and wood burner. But most surfaces, including slate, need to be protected from stains. The plasterer did not put any protective dust sheets down which resulted in our beautiful new hearth being stained with plaster solution. When we had our new slate hearth put in a few years ago we also had our living room plastered the following day.
