Default cleaning baking stones

so, I borrowed a baking stone from a friend. some pizza sauce spilled onto the stone, and now there's a lovely black patch on the stone. Can I wash this stain away? I don't want the stone to absorb any soap or cleansers. Will the stain affect performance? Quite frankly, I don't care if the stone is ugly, since it usually sits in my oven.

Thanks!

There was a past thread on this. I know mine is pretty stained. RAndom bits of cheese oil from focaccia and such.

As I recall, you can bake it mostly clean?

Here's the original discussion. Lots of ideas.

leave it be. Ever seen the deck of a pizza oven? It'll take care of itself.

well, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who fouls up his baking stone. Thanks for the advice/link.

Those kind of stains give the stone "character" IMO.
