[edit] Pumicing stones?

Is there an article for the use of pumice or other stones for use in wearing down calluses? Since pumice is so often used for this, I think it would be good to interlink the topics. Thoughts? Tyciol 05:41, 6 June 2006 (UTC)


Yes why not you can use acid cellouse enzyme for the same kind of result and you can save your garment from tearing and gating damage from the stone wash


Would this stone wash have a role in medicinal history? If it did, I guess it should be noted in this article.Slartibartfast1992 01:23, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History of pumice use

Does anyone have any idea when pumice began to be used to remove dead skin/abrade feet etc? Did Victorians use pumice for such purposes? Was it commonplace in well to do Victorian homes?

[edit] Found

It is an igneous rock so it is probably found by any volcano. Nutty Gorilla —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.111.49.163 (talk) 03:32, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
