Limestone treatment

Anyone have a stone/fireplace expert by any chance?

I have a limestone fireplace over which I broke one of those oil filled floating thermometer things tonight. The clear oil sinks in and changes the shade of the limestone.

Any informed ideas would be very appreciated...

Thanks.

I'm not one for coincidences, but I'm looking there too.

Oh, hi! 🙂

Maybe try one of the following:

bleach
Lemon-scented toilet bowl cleaner
Windex
Draino
Draino and Windex together
WD-40
regular vinegar
Sandpaper
sandblasting
Acetone
The sun
Tomato sauce
Toss the fireplace and get a new one

Something GKR missed on his list: get a whole lot more of those oily thermometer thingies and break them at different spots on the fireplace. Create a work of art!
