What to Expect From Your First Memorial Cleaning Appointment

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Condition Assessment

Scheduling a headstone cleaning is a meaningful decision for any family. At Guzman Memorial Restoration, I make the process stress-free, respectful, and fully transparent from start to finish.

Step 2: Gentle Surface Pre-Rinse and Solution Application

I begin with an initial site visit to examine the stone type, structural soundness, and degree of organic growth or surface staining. I document the 'before' condition thoroughly.

Step 3: Hand Scrubbing With Soft-Bristled Brushes

Next, I thoroughly wet the stone with clean water before applying D/2 Biological Solution. This eco-friendly cleaner soaks into the biological growth, breaking down algae and lichens at the root level without harming the stone matrix.

Step 4: Final Inspection and Photo Documentation

I gently scrub the stone using soft natural-bristle brushes, paying delicate attention to carved details, dates, and inscriptions. After a clean water rinse, the transformation is immediately visible.

Finally, I complete a quality inspection and send high-resolution before and after photos directly to your phone or email so you can see the care given to your loved one's memorial.
