How to Clean a Headstone - Cleaning Headstones Explained

[Productions]

There are so many little cemeteries where you can see that people care for it but they don't know how to restore it. This is great info especially for people with small cemeteries on private property with no road access.

I loved how you emphasized the importance of not expecting a perfectly clean stone on the first day. More important you explained why. You have saved so many people interested in cleaning headstones HOURS. Thank you 🙏

I’ve been cleaning stones for a year and I really appreciate this video. I’ve learned (and continue to learn) from amazing people like yourself. Thank you!

I used soap and water, then Wet And Forget and when I returned a month later for a second application the headstones looked brand new, not exaggerating. Beautiful.

Highly unlikely we are related to the Roach couple in the video, but thank you for sharing this insightful training. We have a very old graveyard down the road from us and have been researching proper cleaning techniques while maintaining respect for the deceased and their family. Thank you!

💚💚💚 you look so good!!! I am here for it! Thank you for the motivation to get it together!! I've been decluttering my entire house for the last few weeks and I'm dreading my built in bookcases! Pray for me because I DO NOT like getting rid of my books 😂

I really like your videos and would like to see the whole stone get cleaned. I find it interesting and soothing.! Such nice work!

Thanks, I just recently found my great-grandmother's graveside and want to clean it. Now I can see it won't be a difficult process.

I’ve used a copper sulphate solution for my grandfather’s white marble headstone. Four years later, his headstone still has a slight blue tint to it. I also treated/tinted a couple of his buddies. We never have a hard time finding their headstones.

that's good to point out you cant scrape off the green stain and it will just look better over time. I started doing this sometime in 2020 when I had nothing better to do during the shutdowns and just used a little soap and water to clean off headstones, not knowing any better, I slowly figured out the soap was basically pointless and just water and a brush is the best, and eventually used a chemical approved for marble to leave on. It's very time consuming to do this to marble sculptures. Next to my grandparents is a 5 year old boy that died in 1954 from a car running him over on his bike. He has a very ornate angel statue that was completely covered in thick moss, I had no idea it was even white until I cleaned it. Even the exposed parts were a deep grey, but now it's a beautiful brilliant white statue that almost looks new, it's extremely satisfying.

What do you recommend for markers made from limestone? It's incredibly common in Texas for older stones, and very soft.

I’m glad you made a video of what you use. I want to clean my parents headstone as at their grave site we are responsible for it. Will research more into the chemicals. Thank you. FYI do you get paid by anyone to do this? Do you get permission from family to clean them? You doing a wonderful job regardless

I would love to see a time lapse of how the biological chemical works.

I’m new to cleaning stones and this video helped a ton starting off, but I also have allot of polished stones in the grave yard I’ve been cleaning in and I can’t find much information on if d2 is safe to use on polished grave stones if anyone has an answer I would greatly appreciate it

[allthingselderly]

Thanks for video. How do you get permission from cemetery department? Do you know of the need to have insurance to clean headstones? Thx.
