A Full Care Cleaning is my complete gravesite restoration service. It includes a gentle, cemetery‑safe cleaning of the headstone, removal of buildup and debris, tidying and clearing the surrounding area, and detailed before‑and‑after photos. It’s the most thorough service to refresh and honor your loved one’s resting place.

Full Care Cleanings are scheduled at the beginning and end of the season to safely remove buildup from winter and prepare the stone before the next one. Limiting deep cleanings to twice a year helps protect the stone from unnecessary wear, while lighter maintenance visits in between keep the site looking clean and cared for.

Every effort is made to remove surface‑level dirt, biological growth, and staining during the cleaning. However, some deeper or long‑set stains may not disappear immediately. The D/2 Biological Solution continues to work throughout the year as it kills algae, mold, and mildew at the root. It even reactivates with rain, gradually lightening and improving the stone’s appearance over time. While no cleaner can restore a stone to “brand new,” each cleaning safely brings out its best possible condition while protecting its integrity.

I use only professional, cemetery‑safe cleaners designed specifically for headstones.

My primary products are D/2 Biological Solution and Endurance Gravestone & Monument Cleaner. D/2 safely removes organic growth like algae, lichen, and mildew, while Endurance lifts surface dirt, pollen, and general buildup for regular maintenance. Both are non‑acidic, biodegradable, and formulated to clean effectively without damaging the stone or surrounding environment.

Cleanings are paused during the winter because freezing temperatures and ice can prevent proper treatment and increase the risk of damage to the stone. Snow and frozen ground also make it difficult to safely clean the surrounding area. Services resume once conditions allow for safe, respectful care.
