I am a family historian and genealogist. In the past, I have found locating cemeteries, gravestones and stone photography to be extremely rewarding. After watching your video demonstration, I intend to follow in your footsteps and take up cleaning stones. It is very gracious of you to clean the only remaining remembrance on this Earth of children you don’t even know. What a respectful act of selfless kindness. God bless.

I used to clean memorials professionally and I would use pressure washers bleach and acids (depending on the material) but our customers wanted instant effects. But I agree about not using things like wire brushes especially on marble because if you left any bits of the brush on it it will rust and it will leach into the stone staining it forever. And for anyone interested NEVER leave wreaths with metal wire on the memorial for the same reason RUST IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF STONE.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide, Wandering Ranger.

Wandering Ranger Cleaning a gravestone with bleach is not a good idea. Bleach is at the top of the list as the number one harmful cleaner most used. Most who use it do because it’s cheap, kills germs and fungi, and it will bleach white a marble stone but it's very harmful. Also be very very careful if using a power washer to clean gravestones as too high of pressure can strip layers of stone off the grave maker.

@@kathleenstamm3918 I’m sorry I’ve only just seen your comment, it depends on what you’re prepared to do to get the desired results depending on what material it’s made from I.e granite or marble, granite is very dense and if it’s polished shouldn’t take much work to clean, water and a piece of cuttlefish on polished faces would work, marble however is another story as it can be porous and after a few years of frost it can make the surface quite sugary, various cleaning products will bring some brightness back to it but if you want it to look brand new then it would need the sugary level ground down back to good stone and depending on the depth of the lettering possibly rein-scribed.

What am amazingly noble thing to do! I salute you! Strangely, my mother in law had passed several years ago and right next to her, a few years later, my childhood best friend had passed away and was buried completely at random next to her. When I visit my mother in laws grave for a prayer, I also pray for my old friend. I noticed that his grave was not as kept up as others around it and figure that maybe his family is to distraught over it, as he was the same age as me. So, I started doing something similar and bringing him flowers if I’m bringing her flowers or just tidying up. It makes me feel better. I would never tell his family if I ever ran into them, but I’ve often wondered what their feelings are about it.

Just a point for consideration. In the UK there are 2 schools of thought about grave cleaning. First one is keep them clean out of respect for the person interned and as a courtesy to the family. Secondly - Grave stones provide an important environmental calendar, it contains the date it arrived and therefore the growth of any Lichens or Mosses can be accurately tracked. Alongside this the deposits can also give a huge insight into things like air pollution and the make up of the atmosphere. In the UK scientists view grave yards as valuable sources of historical environmental data. Lastly a lot of Lichens etc take hundreds of years to develop and evolve and a stable environment can be difficult to find. Not against what you are doing, just food for thought!!!
