Title: Plaque clean
Post by: Steve Grocott on September 08, 2021, 09:17:18 pm

Hey everyone,
I’ve got a PW job coming up and the customer wants me to clean two stone plaques: there is black lettering on it.  Anyone had experience of cleaning this sort of thing: I’ve got hypo and a 15 litre and minute machine.  I don’t want to knacker the black lettering!  Any advice greatly appreciated.

The stone is easy hypo and low pressure - the lettering is the tricky bit - are they carved into the stone or bonded .?

 Low pressure softwash should see you right - but without seeing the item in question  it's a bit hit and miss

Cheers Darren

The letters are cut into the stone with ‘black’ at the back of each one.
It’s buff coloured sandstone. Thank you.
