Care and Maintenance

Headstone care is essential for preserving the integrity and appearance of the memorial. For routine cleaning, use a soft, non-metallic brush or cloth and a solution of plain, clean water. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or acidic cleaners, as these can permanently damage the stone's surface and erode delicate carvings. Regularly remove any debris, such as leaves, dirt, or grass clippings, that may accumulate at the base. In areas with high moss or algae growth, a specialized, pH-neutral biological cleaner designed for stone may be used, but always perform a small spot test first. By following these simple, gentle maintenance practices, you can help ensure the headstone remains a lasting tribute for generations to come.
