Hi all

         I've been ask to clean some head stones at a local grave yard and was wondering what equipment I needed and what chemicals I needed also an idea on price per head stone. As I need the work I didnt want to knock back the job so any help would be much appreciated.

Done that before I posted on the forum - I just wanted some help and advice from some one who was doing that sort of thing.

Have cleaned a couple recently,both were a composite stone made to look like marble,I found that neat bleach and a wire brush did a great job,plenty of water to rinse,and be careful with the leaded lettering,took around about one hour,charge accordingly,good luck,Neil
