Monument cleaning goes beyond simply cleaning stone. When you hire a professional for monument cleaning, you’re protecting and paying homage to the past by ensuring monuments are preserved. Maintaining clean, beautiful monuments honors those who are no longer with us.
However, since monuments are constantly exposed to the elements, it’s inevitable that sooner or later, they’ll become dirty. Without proper maintenance, they can discolor, degrade, and begin to suffer damage, such as cracking and breaking from weather and the freeze-thaw cycle.
While water and a soft brush can be sufficient for cleaning some monuments, hiring a professional restores their original beauty. Professionals have the necessary experience and equipment to clean monuments properly, without causing damage to the stone.
With regular cleaning, you can preserve the memory of those no longer with us, the readability of the monument, and the beauty of the site.
