Please Help! need to get oil off fireplace.

8 years ago

Today my toddler took a crayon to the hearth which is like a cast stone material. I googled how to remove crayon and read to use goo gone and without thinking put it on and then realized I made a worse mess. I scrubbed it with dawn and water and then sanded it with sandpaper (which should have been all I did) but the oily stain remains. Please advise me on what to do now.

Thanks

. . . which is like a cast stone material.

Maybe someone here will have the answer. If not, I would get on internet and find a company that sells cleaners for stone products. I just did some googling, and found the Cast Stone Institute that has all sorts of documents on line.

StoneTech has a line of stone cleaners and a help line. StoneTech
