A new pizza soapstone w/great, shiny finish came w/an insert that said to use "Goof Off" to clean any residue I'm assuming.Will it ruin the finish?

If the 'pizza soapstone" is something you eat off, then NO I would not use this stuff on it. It's great on PAINT, and smells much like Agent Orange must have smelled.

If it recommends goof off then I have to assume that it is the product that they want you to use. There are so many finishes and materials I really have no way in knowing all of them. I can say that I have never had it damage any material or finish thus far. I can also tell you that it has a similar ingredient that is also found in nail polish remover. You might want to test it with a tiny drop of that prior to using Goof Off. It's a very strong cleaner you should use it out doors when possible if not try and use it in a well ventilated area. I'm thinking if they recommend Goof off then I do not see a problem. But that's me. My wife and Daughter both are telling me in no uncertain terms heck no! It will ruin it. Since they are the cooks I defer to them. Better not try it you will get me in trouble. Lets take the safer course of action, good luck! Having said that I still love goof Off and every home should have a can of it for emergencies, I have found it to be a life saver!

I didn't have mine sealed. I use a scotch brite pad and any cleaner and have had no problems. I love this sink. Everyone who has seen it has loved it too. It cleans really easily and isn't shiny granite so you can use more abrasive cleaners. Hope this helps!

My GrillStone came as a kit with a handle and a cloth rag. I usually clean it with a wire brush after using the GrillStone and then wipe it off with the rag. This also removes any rust that may have built up.

Just wiping it out with dish soap and water. To shine I use a little olive oil.Love this sink. I will never go back to stainless.

The BEST way is to wipe it out w/paper towels upon rinsing. Avoid "scratchy" cleaners always, but you can remove past buildup w/those "safe for Teflon" dishwashing sponges. Hope this helps!

I've touched mine to my pizza steel with my oven at max temp. I think it should be fine to use provided it isn't there for any length of time.

I use a Scotch Brite Non-Scratch scrub sponge, as soon after I'm done using the pan. I just run hot water, hold the pan in the sink (with a oven glove!) and clean off the pan. This works well, as no buildup deposits. I don't use soap. as the care instructions warn. This works great. Then, I let the pan cool, dry it off, and immediately treat the pan with a little vegetable oil. Fantastical results.

I'm not sure what the insert said about bleach, but I've been able to clean mine with the "Magic Eraser" with just water pretty good. You may want to try that first.

Just hit the answer: NO!Use it until it is full of tarnish then purchase a new one. It is infused with a cleaning element that would be destroyed by washing.

Not really. The grillstone is dry and sometimes leaves dust on the grill as it breaks down when you use it. I usually just wipe with a dry paper towel. These things will make your grill shiny again. I use them between each grilling and I've had my original grill for over 10 years.

The insert is stoneware. A rather heavy piece of ceramic type of material. Yes it removes for easy cleaning.

I did not notice any smell when I received mine. And the chalkiness I just washed off with water only. To clean it I put it in my oven and turned on the self-cleaning function it came out white the same as when I bought it. Then I covered it with olive oil ans baked it for about an hour on my grill because it smokes a lot. This helps pizza not to stick. I love this pizza stone.

No....and I would not recommend it either. If it get dirty with wet dough sticking on it, just use a spatula or a scraper with the grain over the sink...and it actually makes it slicker for next time. Commercial bakeries generally do not treat their butcher blocks and if you use mineral oil...that is a petroleum made product. However, if you were to season it...perhaps lightly with olive oil.

I would be careful and tread lightly with an SOS pad. Probably it wouldn't hurt, especially if you didn't exert a lot of pressure, but if you scratch the surface, that area will always be a sticking point, as well as a place for rust to start. I've never found an SOS to be necessary. I always grease, butter or spray my pan, and if something does stick, I let it soak a little while, then use a plastic scrubber, and it always comes right off. Happy roasting!

get some barkeepers friend. It will remove it right away. I use it on my all clad pans, and it doesn't disappoint
