Bargain reconstituted stone fireplace, now how do I clean it?

I've been desperate for a fire place since we moved into our house 2 years ago but with monet being tight we never bothered. Well my hubby managed to find a bargain stone fire place on the online loot abwebsite for £50. Well it's absolutely fab but i'm not too sure what to clean it with as I know stone can only be cleaned with certain products as it stains easy. Does anyone know whether this is the same for reconstituted stone?

Thanks everyone!!!

    probably safe to jetwash it, outside, before you install it.
    Get some gorm.
  • reconstit....d stone is actually concrete. A good brick cleaner will get muck off, but any smoke / charring damage will be hard to get rid off. Power washing OK but don't let it freeze iin this weather.
