I have to say I tried D2 on my grandparents grave stone following these online video instructions. I worked for 3 hours on the stone and yes you could see some improvement, but not much. I was disappointed with the result so wet the stone with water again allowing time for the excess to drain off, then I sprayed all the stone with D2 and went home, many months passed before a family anniversary visit to the cemetery and I could not believe, my grandparents stone looked like it had been cleaned by a professional, all the green and stains had gone leaving an almost new looking white headstone. I sill have some D2 left and so will give the stone another light spray over come next summer. Looks like you give this solution time to work and you get wonderful results.

I think I’m now addicted to watching tomb cleaning, love to see it I’m their beautiful glory

[@chrissystepford2263]

Just love the time and dedication put into preserving a headstone. The wooden tools, soft scrub brushes, biologic LONG TERM cleaner..... This is in the realm of art restoration. Thanks!!!!!

[@MarkM1337]

Thanks, my Eagle Scout project is renovating a World War I cemetery, and I needed to know how to clean the stones.

[@idiboss6782]

same reason why I came to this. I am meeting someone today to talk about this.

[@triciahope2377]

Thank you SO much for posting this and the work you do!!!

[@amandaknox6344]

Great advise 😁 I want to try this on some of my ancestor's headstones. For the details, many restorers use a toothbrush.

[@phylmi983]

Are all headstone materials created equal? Is D2 Biological Solution safe for EVERY type of stone? Is D2 the recommended method for ANY type of problem attacking the stone? How do you tell the difference in stones? Would have liked to have seen a follow up to this in the 3-4 months after that he recommended.

[@57HarleyDavidson]

@Phyl Mi D2 Biological Solution is designed to treat masonry, stone, concrete, wood, asphalt shingles, vinyl & aluminum siding, fiberglass, metal, paint, canvas, etc.

[@georgeNconrad]

I love this stuff. It’s a great cleaning agent.

[@marvinlarson8725]

Does the temperature of the water make a difference?

[@kimberlyhansen6378]

Why do you begin at the bottom of the stone?

[@MattB-zm2uk]

Here is a tombstone after 4 cleanings over an 8 month span with D2. It looks even better now and will ad final photo once complete

Hope to clean a few of my families gravestones here in PA. 2 of which were ww1

Can I use D2 on my patio stones?

[@rawbacon]

Yes.

[@yelloworangered]

What do you do if the graveyard is on a steep hill and NO WATER -- how much to bring?

[@autumnprismn]

Depending upon the size of the monument that you are going to be cleaning, 5-20 gallons of waters. Hopefully, you will be lucky and there is a water supply at the cemetery. But in case there is not, it is best to be prepared and just carry carry it with you.

[@anniebach8826]

. I did hear that sandblasting high power washers can ruin a headstone if they are made to last for internally and I would like to learn more and more about them because I have an awful lot of them I mean some from the 17 hundreds that was my family that I do need to get cleaned they got a lot of mold and algae but I have found that Ivory does take a lot of that all but I'm having trouble getting mold out of them

[@andreaswank3524]

What would you suggest for a 4 year old stone that's getting streaks?

[@rawbacon]

Well it's 9 years now but I think all you really need to do is spray it with D2 (follow the directions) and let it do it's magic over the next few months.

[@txfreethinker]

You're not going to show us what it looked like 3 or 4 months later?

Thank you 😊 awesome info

[@renlentlesstourist7574]

Hi guys, i want to clean my granpaws headstone, its not as bad as what you showed us in the video and its much smaller. Can i jut use a toothbrush and washing up liquid?

[@m.louish.9880]

Washing liquid would be absorbed by the porous stone and it might destroy it. Use water and a very soft hand brush.

[@CutieRingoJoy]

Is there a way to clean ourselves?

[@imscottmc40]

Also with the bronze memorial's, if you spray them with WD-40 it helps preserve them and makes them look like new

[@m.louish.9880]

WD40 is a solvant. It will eventually destroy the bronze and stone.

[@m.louish.9880]

First of all, don't work on any grave that doesn't belong to you directly, unless you have permission from the cemetery owners 'in writing' or the family that owns the gravestone. Do not use anything but a soft brush on a stone. The stones can be porous or very soft, and using a hard bristle brush can ruin them. Always use water with the brush. I've seen stones that split from the wrong cleaning tools. D/2 is used by national cemeteries like Arlington, the Tomb of the Unknown soldier, and the White House. Wet and Forget has unknown chemicals in it, and is not recommended by gravestone preservationists.

[@57HarleyDavidson]

@M. Hand There isn't anything wrong with people cleaning gravestones, I rather see a clean gravestone instead of a gravestone that I can't read.

[@NathanHassall]

Is this for diablo 2?

[@briansefring4981]

Is D2 a concentrate?

[@judyporter3206]

What about rust

[@mikecartlidge5355]

ACF50 spray, several treatments over time actually kills rust and corrosion completely.

[@anniebach8826]

I did hear that besides Ivory soap and renting we're all good that mineral water and mineral oil is the best thing to use on them if he can't get them clean then you have to order stuff to clean them but I did hear that there's stuff with the glass 7 can sometimes scratch them and ruin them oh so you do have to be very very careful when cleaning an old headstone expecially cement ones

[@markrush5013]

no oil . it can soak in porous rock and stain it.

[@chevydude658]

This is frustrating and disappointing because this doesn't show the finished result. Basically a demotivating video because I can't see how the product works. I want to see the difference and the final result.

[@MattB-zm2uk]

Here is a stone it took 5 cleanings over 1 year www.findagrave.com/memorial/29902571/abner-franklin-hutchins

[@mikecartlidge5355]

I spent over three hours today using D2 to clean my grandparents headstone, having seen videos on here I had high hopes of a nice job. As per instructions I lightly sprayed the stone with water before spraying D2 onto the stone, I left it over an hour before starting in with a scrubbing brush and water, then more D2. Three hours later I was disappointed with the result to say the least considering how expensive this stuff is. I gave the stone time to dry off a bit before spraying the last of the D2 left in the bottle onto the stone, I am leaving this a week before returning to see if the stone will clean up any better. They don't actually tell you how much D2 they have used in these videos to bring the stones up like new........I won't be buying anymore of it that's for sure.

[@Kriswixx]

this would make a nice business,. posting ads in church weekly flyers, i bet one could make a good living cleaning up gravestones, take a photo. etc

[@Johnny_Snowcloud]

what you need is Ivory soap or Dawn soap with some water.

HOW DOES ONE GET THE PROPER PERMISSION FOR A MONUMNT MARKER? I CLEAN VETERAN MARKERS IN CEMETARYS, BY CONTACTING THE SEXTONS OF THE CEMETARIES. CLEANING NON-MILITARY STONES, WHAT KIND OF LIABILITY IS THERE ON ONESELF. I SURELY WOULD NOT WANT TO GET SUED FROM SOMEONE. A FAMILY MEMBER GIVES YOU PERMISSION & ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER HATES WHAT YOU ARE DOING WITH A LOVED ONE MARKER. TRYING TO GET THE BEST ANSWERS FROM YOU. HOPE TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU ON THIS MATTER.

Use 'Wet and Forget' cleaner and be done with it.

Do NOT use Wet and Forget. The company refuses to disclose ingredients.

[@EfganKha]

and where is the proof that you cleaned it?

[@YOUCANDOIT-uw5qq]

Didn’t work use a power washer next time 🤔

[@MattB-zm2uk]

Power washers can cause extreme damage. D2 really works it just takes time. Here is a stone i cleaned www.findagrave.com/memorial/29902571/abner-franklin-hutchins

No before and after because they didn't get it clean enough to show it. This is a D2 ad, and now I know not to buy it.

[@m.louish.9880]

Arlington cemetery uses D/2. So does the White House conservators. Most of the cemetery preservationists use D/2.

@@brynleylewis7390 shaving foam has petroleum and propellant additives. I've seen videos of what stones look like over time- black marks, lichen all over it, even the front separating from the rest of the stone. Ever see what a microwave looks like inside when the wrong cleanser is used? It's like that.

Agree, I felt like I just watched an advert for a product that made it look worse after, all patchy. Must be an easier, more effective way tbh.

[@MattB-zm2uk]

@@angeloddrev this is the only safe way to clean a gravestone. Anh other procedures WILL cause irreversible damage.. D2 looks worse after applying but if you wait a couple months you will see the results. Here is a stone i cleaned www.findagrave.com/memorial/29902571/abner-franklin-hutchins

[@markrush5013]

yeah it takes months for this d2 junk to work...most of us want more immediate results.d2 is basically a way to claim you cleaned a stone without actually cleaning it in my opinion.

[@skymiller530]

How about telling us WHY the use of bleach and the proper use of a power washer is not to be used. I want to know WHY NOT. Sure sounds like a commercial for D2 to me. I think there are way better solutions than D2 and all that scrubbing. Looked terrible at the end to me. D2 my ass.

[@1969yenkofan]

Sky Miller Pressure washing can be used on newer gravestones because those are typically granite. However older ones are limestone which a power washer can actually erode the stone away due to how soft it is.

[@yelloworangered]

Old stones can also be very soft white marble -- you'll just blast the surface away with powered washing.

[@mdenis46]

Did you catch the "in several months" part? D-2 is used by Arlington National Cemetery and the Smithsonian. Bleach an power washers destroy the stone, the older the stone, the more destruction.

[@garyjd1166]

Is there a reason why YOU do not drink bleach? Sure because it's harmful. If this company makes a product that is monument friendly wouldn't it be reasonable to list harmful things you SHOULDN'T use to clean a monument. As for it not being a good product, guess you didn't watch the entire video.

[@adambarns2496]

Bleach is fine for marble and stone actually...avoid acid

[@BradfoRobe]

not the professional way to do it all all
