Subject: Removing silicon oil from sandstone
Does anyone have experience of trying to remove stains caused by silicone oil from soft sandstone? My problem involves trying to reduce staining caused by cheap silicone caulking (the type used to seal bathtubs, sinks and such) used in contact with sandstone. This caulk has been applied to a rock face outdoors. It is not on a small object that can be moved into a lab. Thanks, J.
