To clean a pizza stone, avoid using soap as it can absorb into the stone and affect the taste of food. Instead, follow these steps:

• Let the pizza stone cool completely after use.
• Gently scrape off any stuck-on food bits with a wooden or plastic spatula or a soft nylon scrubber.
• Wipe the stone with warm water and a soft cloth, avoiding soaking it.
• For tougher spots, a baking soda paste can be applied and scrubbed off.
• Allow the stone to dry thoroughly for at least 24 hours before its next use.
• Some users also recommend heating the stone at a high temperature to burn off residues, then brushing off the ash.

This method ensures the stone maintains its seasoning and performs well without damage or retaining soap residues.
