Our meticulous cleaning process

At West Michigan Monument Care, we treat each memorial with the respect and diligence it deserves. Discover the steps we take to restore the beauty of your loved one's headstone.

Careful preparation and initial cleaning

Our process begins with the utmost care. We meticulously use a plastic scraper to gently remove moss and lichen from the gravestone. Following this, we dust the stone with a soft brush, preparing it for a deep and thorough clean.

Applying specialized cleaning solutions

After the initial preparation, we wet the gravestone with water and then carefully apply a specialized cleaner. This solution is specifically formulated for cleaning gravestones, ensuring effective yet gentle treatment that preserves the integrity of the stone.

Thorough scrubbing and detailed attention

We then scrub the gravestone with a soft bristle brush, paying close attention to every detail. For those hard-to-reach crevices, we use small-sized brushes to ensure no spot is missed. This meticulous approach guarantees a comprehensive clean.

Final rinse, drying, and lasting treatment

Once thoroughly scrubbed, the gravestone is carefully rinsed with water and allowed to dry. As a unique step, we reapply the specialized cleaner at the end of the cleaning process, allowing it to continue working on any lingering stains for a longer-lasting effect. This ensures a beautifully restored monument that honors your loved one.
