Cleaning Headstones

Over the years, headstones may become discolored particularly those located under trees. Moss and mildew, bird droppings, discoloration from red soil being splashed against the stone all contributes to an unattended appearance. When these problems are indicated, the stone should be cleaned. Because this must be done using some form of acid, it is recommended that someone with experience undertake cleaning. You may select a company that sells stones or engage the assistance of a workman for Temple Beth-El to clean your stone.
