 Re: Cleaning a pizza stone 
Water only, no soap. We bought a special sponge that we only use for the pizza stone, we never soap it and it's more abrasive than other sponges.

 Re: Cleaning a pizza stone 
Mine (Pampered Chef) came with a plastic scraper - it sort of looks like an oversized guitar pick.  You could probably use a plastic spatula too.  I scrape off anything that is still sticking to it, and then run the stone under hot water and rub off anything else.  Then, let it dry.

 Re: Cleaning a pizza stone 
The first step in cleaning your stone, after allowing it to cool, is to scrape off any food residue. Then simply rinse it off under warm water and allow it to dry in the air. You should never wash your stone with soap because the soap flavor will taint the stone. The oils from your food will gradually seep into the stone creating a non-stick surface. After using my current stone for approximately three years it has a shiny, darkened patina as you can see in the picture above.

 Re: Cleaning a pizza stone 
Just rub it off under water.  You will probably not be able to get the stain out, and you will find that the more you use it, the more stained it will get, but that's OK   
  Don't use soap - it will ruin the stone.  i haven't tried it, just doing what I am told.

 Re: Cleaning a pizza stone 
I was told that you can use vinegar on it.  I no longer have a pizza stone but that is what I used.

 Re: Cleaning a pizza stone 
You can also use baking soda and water if it's really a mess.
