What is the best way to remove oil-based stains from natural stone?

Oil-based stains, such as from grease or cooking oil, typically darken the stone. They should be chemically dissolved using a soft, liquid cleanser, mineral spirits, or acetone. A poultice may be necessary to draw out deeper stains. Always blot spills immediately to prevent absorption.
