Why Regular Memorial Cleaning is Essential

‍

The environment can take a toll on memorials in various ways. Rain, wind, and humidity contribute to the accumulation of calcium deposits, which often appear as unsightly white stains on the stone’s surface. Similarly, mildew and moss thrive in damp conditions, leading to green or black stains that can make a memorial look aged and neglected.

Beyond aesthetics, these buildups can also cause significant damage if left untreated. Calcium deposits can harden over time, making them more difficult to remove and potentially leading to surface erosion. Mildew and moss can trap moisture against the stone, increasing the risk of cracks or other structural issues. Regular cleaning is essential not only for maintaining the beauty of the memorial but also for ensuring its longevity.

The Process: How We Clean Your Memorial

‍

At Magnolia Memorials and Texas Gravestone Care, we take a meticulous approach to cleaning, ensuring that every step is performed with the utmost care and respect for the memorial.

Initial Assessment: Before beginning the cleaning process, we carefully assess the memorial to identify areas of buildup and any potential vulnerabilities. This helps us tailor our approach to the specific needs of the stone.

Application of the Cleaning Compound: We apply our special cleaning compound to the stone’s surface, allowing it to penetrate and break down deposits and stains. This step is crucial for loosening even the most stubborn buildup.

Gentle Scrubbing and Rinsing: Using soft brushes, we gently scrub the stone to lift away loosened debris. The memorial is then thoroughly rinsed with water to remove all traces of the compound and contaminants.

Final Inspection and Protection: After cleaning, we conduct a final inspection to ensure all buildup has been removed and the stone is restored to its best possible condition. In some cases, we may apply a protective sealant to help prevent future issues.
