Maintaining Granite Funeral Monuments: Tips and Tricks

Regular Cleaning

Use a soft brush or a clean cloth to remove dirt, dust, and debris from the surface of the monument. Avoid using hard brushes that could scratch the stone.

Cleaning Products

Opt for mild products like neutral soap or black soap diluted in water. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, solvents, or abrasive products that can damage the granite surface.

Removing Stains

For stubborn stains, use a paste made of baking soda (a mixture of baking soda and water) applied gently to the affected area. Let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing with clear water.

Preventing Moss and Lichens

Use biocides or fungicides specifically designed for granite to eliminate moss and lichens. Apply these products carefully and sparingly.

Weather Protection

After cleaning, rinse the stone thoroughly with clear water to remove any product residue. Then dry it with a soft cloth to avoid water spots.

Annual Maintenance

It is recommended to clean the monument at least once a year to maintain its appearance and durability. Remove dead leaves, weeds, and wilted flowers around the monument.

By following these tips, you can preserve the beauty and integrity of your granite funeral

 monument for many years.
