Whats the best product – procedure to use to remove a "Duraflame" smoke stain from my outdoor marble fireplace

by Fire Places on June 2, 2010

I just installed an outdoor wood burning fireplace and last night I had my first fire. Instead of using wood, I used a duraflame log which burned nicely for a while but after a couple hours (and a little poking to get the fire going) it started to smoke rather badly. As a result, the marble on front of the fireplace has been stained by the smoke of the duraflame and I’m having a real hard time removing it.

Is there a product or procedure that someone can recommend to remove the smoke damage? I’ve been told that the duraflame logs are basically made from a waxy substance and that the smoke damage caused by one of these "logs" is a little different than smoke damage caused by burning wood. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Simple Green. Works great on any surface for removing smoke stains caused by natural and man made woods without harming or staining surfaces.
