Headstone cleaning involves the careful removal of dirt, moss, and stains from grave markers to preserve their appearance and readability. This process typically uses gentle methods and non-abrasive materials to avoid damaging the stone. Common cleaning agents include water, soft brushes, and specialized stone cleaners designed for granite, marble, or limestone. Regular maintenance of headstones is important for honoring the memory of the deceased and ensuring that inscriptions remain legible. Many families choose to clean headstones themselves or hire professionals who specialize in cemetery maintenance. Proper care can extend the life of the monument and maintain its historical significance.
