How to Remove Grease Stains From a Flagstone
Flagstone makes for beautiful floors, patios and walkways. This look generally comes at a relatively high price however, as the cost of the flagstone itself as well as its installation can be significant. An accident like a grease spill can thus be reason for concern for a homeowner who has invested in flagstone.
Fortunately, there is a method that is effective in removing grease stains from flagstone.
Things You Will Need
- Paper towels
- Acetone
- Plastic wrap
- Masking tape
-
Make a poultice from paper towels and acetone. Use enough paper towels to cover the affected area completely.
-
Place the paper towels over the stained area of the flagstone.
-
Pour small amounts of acetone onto the paper towels until they are saturated.
-
Cover the paper towels with plastic wrap and tape down the edges of the plastic with masking tape.
-
Allow the poultice to work on the grease stain for 24 hours, then remove the plastic and paper towels. Allow the area to dry, then clean it with a mild solution of dish soap and water. Repeat the entire process as needed; stubborn stains may require more than one application.
