Is anyone doing headstone cleaning? If so, what chemicals are you using? Any helpful tips would be appreciated.

A lot of Cemetery's do not want to see you using chems because of the grass.

But I've seen where they do ask you to use light chems to clean concrete, or marble mausoleums.

We've used dry ice pellets, and a blasting machine to do ornamental pieces and water for plain headstones. You don’t want to use high pressure if they’re really old and stay away from things that kill vegetation, Cemeteries stones have to last a many lifetimes so if you deteriorate the stone’s quicker than say just using water your really hurting more than helping in most cases.

Arlington National Cemetery just went for $.60 a stone at over 200,000 stones.

That does help but at least you get an idea, and no I didn’t get this contract. I was at .60 also for the first year, but I raised my prises 2 cents every years for five years and the other company didn’t.
