Headstone Cleaning FAQ — West Columbia, SC

Do monument dealers provide headstone cleaning along with sales?

Many monument dealers offer cleaning and restoration services in addition to new monument sales. Professionals use pH-neutral cleaners and D/2 Biological Solution to safely remove staining, lichen, and algae without damaging the stone surface.

What should I look for when choosing a monument dealer for cleaning?

Look for dealers with hands-on restoration experience who use conservation-grade products. Ask specifically whether they have worked with your stone type — marble requires gentler treatment than polished granite, and sandblasting is generally not appropriate for older memorials.

How do I maintain a new monument between professional cleanings?

Light periodic rinses with plain water help prevent buildup. Avoid household cleaners, bleach, or any product not formulated for memorial stone. Your monument dealer can recommend safe products for between-visit upkeep.

Can a monument dealer restore a badly weathered headstone?

Yes. Many monument dealers offer re-lettering, surface consolidation, and resetting of leaning or tilted stones in addition to cleaning. Severe cases may require a specialist conservator, especially for historic or ornate markers.
