Natural Stone Hearth Cleaner

pH-neutral for stone · Lifts smoke stains · Private label

Smoke stains above the firebox hiding your marble’s veining? Once cool, dust off, spray, wait 2–3 minutes, and wipe—the stain lightens and polished stone keeps its shine. pH-neutral for acid-sensitive stone; private label from 500 bottles.

  • Wood smoke carries carbon particles and tar, and some escapes every time the door opens, settling on the stone above the opening. Natural stone has micro-pores, and oily tar glues the carbon into them until a grey-black smoke zone forms over a season. Dry wiping only removes loose ash; you need surfactants and solvent to dissolve the tar before the carbon can come out of the pores.
  • Marble and limestone are mostly calcium carbonate. Vinegar, lemon juice, descalers, and other acids etch them, leaving dull patches, and strong alkaline degreasers dull the polish over time. At pH 7.0–8.5, this formula breaks down soot with surfactants and mild solvent without reacting with the carbonate, and a clean-water wipe afterward keeps the stone’s original sheen.

Before & after

Before and after (use illustration)

Before: a white marble surround has a grey-black smoke zone above the opening that hides the veining. After: cooled, sprayed, left 3 minutes, wiped, and dried with a clean-water pass, the smoke zone is much lighter, the veining is clear again, and the polish is intact.

  • Before: a grey-black smoke zone above the opening hides the veining
  • After: the stain is much lighter and the veining shows again
  • pH-neutral, so polished stone keeps its shine

How it works

How Soot Leaves Stone Without Harming It

Soot on stone is carbon particles held by tar made of phenols, resins, and polycyclic compounds. Glycol ether solvent is compatible with the tar and softens it, nonionic surfactants emulsify the dissolved tar and disperse the freed carbon, and a chelating agent helps remove mineral salts from ash. It all happens at neutral pH with no acid-base reaction against calcium carbonate, so the polish is untouched.

  • Surfactants and solvent dissolve tar
  • Carbon loses its binder
  • Dispersed and suspended
  • Soft cloth lifts
  • Water removes residue

Usage guidance

Use guidance

  1. Let the fireplace cool fully and brush or vacuum loose ash off the stone.
  2. Spray smoke stains and ash marks and wait 2 to 3 minutes without letting it dry.
  3. Wipe from the outside in with a soft cloth, turning to clean areas, then wipe with clean water and dry.

Key benefits

Where Natural Stone Hearth Cleaner stands out

Darkening Above the Firebox Is Oily Soot in the Stone

Wood smoke carries carbon particles and tar, and some escapes every time the door opens, settling on the stone above the opening. Natural stone has micro-pores, and oily tar glues the carbon into them until a grey-black smoke zone forms over a season. Dry wiping only removes loose ash; you need surfactants and solvent to dissolve the tar before the carbon can come out of the pores.

Marble Hates Acid and Strong Alkali; Neutral Is Safest

Marble and limestone are mostly calcium carbonate. Vinegar, lemon juice, descalers, and other acids etch them, leaving dull patches, and strong alkaline degreasers dull the polish over time. At pH 7.0–8.5, this formula breaks down soot with surfactants and mild solvent without reacting with the carbonate, and a clean-water wipe afterward keeps the stone’s original sheen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Find practical answers about Natural Stone Hearth Cleaner, private label, samples, MOQ, documents, and delivery.

How to use

How do I clean smoke stains on a marble fireplace?

Once cool, remove loose ash, spray a neutral stone cleaner, wait 2 to 3 minutes, wipe, and follow with clean water. Never use vinegar, lemon, or descaler; they etch marble.

Can I use it on granite and slate?

Yes, on granite, slate, quartzite, marble, and limestone. Test honed or tumbled finishes first.

Will it dull the polish?

No. The neutral formula doesn’t react with stone and has no abrasives, so the polish stays.

What kind of cleaner should I use on a natural stone hearth?

Use a near-neutral cleaner with no acid, no strong alkali, and no abrasives. Marble and limestone are calcium carbonate, so vinegar, lemon, and descalers etch them, and harsh degreasers can dull a polished face over time. This formula (pH 7.0–8.5) loosens oily soot with surfactants and a mild solvent rather than reacting with the stone. Finish with a clean damp cloth.

How do I clean a limestone hearth?

Let the stone cool, vacuum or brush off loose soot, spray, wipe once the grime loosens, and finish with a clean damp cloth. Limestone is calcium carbonate and fairly porous, and acids etch it on contact, so skip vinegar, lemon juice, and descalers entirely. On honed or tumbled limestone, test a hidden spot first.

Surfaces and common questions

What if deep smoke stains don’t come out in one go?

Repeat 2 or 3 times with 3 minutes of dwell each. For soot deep in the pores after years, a stone poultice works.

Should I seal the stone after cleaning?

On sealed stone, reapplying sealer per its instructions helps keep future soot from soaking in and makes cleaning easier.

Can I use it on the glass door too?

Glass creosote is tougher; use the Fireplace Glass Cleaner. This one is made for stone.

Should I vacuum or wipe the soot first?

Vacuum or brush off loose soot first. Wiping it wet pushes loose soot into the stone’s texture and makes it darker. Then spray.

Can it remove white water marks on a slate or granite hearth?

Everyday water marks, yes. Crusty mineral scale won’t dissolve in a neutral cleaner—use a descaler on granite, but never on marble or limestone.

How often should I clean the surround?

Monthly during the burning season, while smoke film is thin. Dust with a dry cloth otherwise, and do a thorough clean at season’s end—then decide whether the stone needs resealing.

Can I clean the hearth right after a fire, or inside the firebox?

Wait until the stone is cool, and stick to the surround and hearth. Hot stone isn't a surface for this cleaner, and neither is the firebrick inside the firebox. Clean the outer stone between fires, ideally monthly during burning season.

Buying and private label

What should we decide first for a private-label natural stone hearth cleaner?

Three things: whether to bundle with the fireplace glass cleaner as a winter kit, the size of your fireplace market (North America, Europe, Australia), and lemon or unscented. The core claim is “neutral, won’t etch marble”, so feature it on the label.

What are the sample, MOQ, and lead-time terms?

Free samples are usually ready in 3–5 days. Standard MOQ is 500 bottles, and bulk orders are scheduled after packaging and labels are approved.

What can be customized?

All of it: formula direction, scent, fill size (500 mL spray, 1 L refill, and more), mist or foam trigger, label design and language, and ecommerce bundles with the Fireplace Glass Cleaner.

Can we test samples first?

Yes, we ship samples first. Test them on polished marble and granite panels with soot like the ones your customers handle, and record soot removal, effect on polished marble gloss, and residue. That tells you more than a before-and-after photo.

Which documents can you provide?

We provide SDS/MSDS, a TDS, and batch COAs, plus bilingual label content for your target market. They aren’t posted publicly; we send them per project on inquiry.

How is private-label pricing quoted?

Pricing is tiered by packaging, trigger or cap, label, and order quantity, starting at the 500-bottle MOQ. Send your target quantity, fill size, and packaging needs, and we’ll quote unit prices by volume tier with sample and lead-time details.
