Limestone FAQ
How do you clean a limestone grave?
Cleaning a limestone grave requires some care to avoid damaging the stone. Here are the steps you can follow in cleaning a limestone grave:
-
Start by removing loose debris from the stone's surface using a soft-bristled brush or a cloth. This will help to prevent scratching the surface of the stone.
-
Next, mix a solution of water and a gentle, pH-neutral soap. Avoid using acidic or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the stone.
-
Dip a soft-bristled brush or cloth into the soapy water and gently scrub the surface of the limestone grave, working in small sections at a time.
-
Rinse the soap off the stone using a clean cloth or a spray bottle filled with clean water.
Remember to avoid using pressure washers, harsh chemicals, or abrasive tools to clean the limestone grave, as these can cause irreparable damage to the stone.
How long do limestone headstones last?
Limestone headstones can last for many decades or centuries, depending on various factors, such as the stone's quality, location, and level of care it receives. Limestone is a durable and long-lasting material, but it is also susceptible to weathering and erosion over time. Exposure to the elements, such as rain, wind, and sun, can cause the surface of the limestone to wear away, and pollutants in the air can also cause discolouration and staining.
