Does vinegar work to clean a stone fireplace?

• <div><p>If you would rather use vinegar to clean the stone fireplace instead of dish soap, this mixture should work fine. Vinegar is slightly acidic, however, so it may etch some kinds of stone without quite a bit of diluting. For a stone fireplace, dilute it to about one cup of vinegar for every gallon of hot water. It’s a smart idea to test the diluted mixture in an inconspicuous area of the fireplace and watch for etching. You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/six-clever-ways-clean-vinegar.htm">use vinegar to clean</a> quite a few different items around your home, and it’s especially good at removing stains.</p></div>

Q: What are the dull spots on my marble floor?

• <div><p>If you notice dull spots on your marble floor, that could result from etching. If you&rsquo;ve used the wrong type of floor cleaner in the past or left a spill unattended for too long, your marble floor may have suffered some surface damage. While there are ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stone-and-countertop-etching.htm">protect your natural stone from etching</a>, you may have to call in a professional for repairs.</p></div>

Q: Are stone steps slippery?

• <div><p>It depends on the material. Sandstone, slate, and granite can be slippery in wet weather. Applying a sealant to the stone can often stop it from absorbing moisture and may reduce the likelihood of slipping. If you're concerned about losing footing, a safer option might be bluestone or concrete.</p></div>

Q: Is marble really high maintenance?

• <div><p>Marble is high maintenance, like most other types of natural stone flooring. However, because it is naturally a more porous stone, there are a few added care instructions. You will need to clean it often to prevent dirt and grit from scratching the finish and surface, keep it dry, clean up spills immediately, and have it professionally sealed and refinished at least once a year to maintain the shine and water-tight surface. However, investing in maintenance is a smart move because marble floors are among the most beautiful and valuable types of flooring when properly cared for.</p></div>

Q: Will Bar Keepers Friend remove the etching on stone counters?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, the product Bar Keepers Friend won&rsquo;t remove etching from stone countertops. In fact, it can make it worse. Bar Keepers Friend contains oxalic acid, which can cause further damage to natural stones like marble or limestone.</p></div>
