Cleaning Rust Marks Off Stones - Any Advice?

[4kids4me]

I got 2 round stones off Freecycle yesterday. They have many marks on them that look like they are from being stored too close to something metal - know what I"m talking about? anyway, wondering if anyone knows how to get these off. I tried the baking soda paste and it didn't make one bit of difference. I'm saving these for my oldest when she graduates and gets her own apartment. TIA!

Those marks do not effect performance so I wouldn't worry about them. They'll eventually fade as the stone gets used.

really? Oh, that's good to know. I"ll just use these for a while til they're "clean" and then pack them away til next summer. Thank you!

Hi there! Congrats on snagging those round stones from Freecycle - what a great find! I definitely know what you're talking about with those marks from being stored near metal. I've found that a mixture of white vinegar and water can do wonders for removing those stubborn marks. Just mix equal parts vinegar and water and use a soft cloth to gently rub the mixture onto the marks. Let it sit for a few minutes before wiping it off and repeating if necessary. The acidity in the vinegar helps to break down the marks and leave your stones looking good as new. Hope this helps and good luck with your future pampered chef endeavors!
