Yes. Our pH-neutral formula has been tested on marble, granite, sandstone and most other commonly used memorial stones. It will not etch or discolour if used according to the instructions.
In most cases, a typical headstone can be cleaned in 20–30 minutes from start to finish:
- Wet the surface
- Apply solution and gently scrub
Rinse and towel-dry with the microfibre cloth Of course, larger or heavily soiled stones may take up to an hour.
Aside from what’s in the kit, you might want:
- A garden hose or watering can to rinse more thoroughly
- A bucket of clean water (for rinsing your brush)
- A small ladder or step stool if the headstone is very tall
But the kit itself contains all the specialised products you wouldn’t already have at home.
Yes – it effectively loosens and lifts organic growths such as lichens, moss and algae. You may need to let the solution dwell for a few minutes before scrubbing in cases of heavy coverage.
For most headstones, an annual clean is enough to prevent significant staining and biological growth. If you live in a damp or shaded area, twice yearly might be advisable.
