What's the least painful way to clean a pizza stone?

Two guides say completely different things about how to clean a pizza stone. It's a cream carpet in the lounge, so nothing fancy. What would you try next? Happy to add photos if it helps.

Never soap - the stone soaks it up and you taste it on the next pizza. Let it cool completely in the oven first, because cold water on a hot stone is how they crack. Then scrape the stuck bits off with a plastic scraper and wipe with a barely damp cloth. The dark stains are fine. A blotchy stone is just a used one.
