What are the considerations for maintaining natural stone around fireplaces?
Maintaining natural stone around fireplaces involves regular cleaning to remove soot and smoke residue using a pH-neutral stone cleaner. For older stones or fire-stained areas, commercial 'smoke removers' might be necessary. Be cautious with any cleaners, as some can etch the stone, and avoid abrasive scrubbing. Professional cleaning may be required for significant damage.
