Most baking stones are not marble or granite, but made of a ceramic
material. Some people actually use quarry tiles (meant for flooring).

Unless you get a severely burnt on stain or a gooey spill, the best way to
clean a baking stone is to simple scrape any residue off. If you have a
self-cleaning oven, it can be successfully cleaned by putting through a
cleaning cycle.
