| Monuments can become dirty or stained by air pollution, hard irrigation water, tree sap, birds or any number of other sources. Properly cleaned, a monument will be truly a beautiful piece of memorial art for many generations. |

| Some tips on cleaning a monument: |
- Use lots of clean water. It may take as much as 20 gallons to clean an average monument.
- Do not use a pressure washer.
- Do not use any soap or other chemicals.
- Get the monument thoroughly wet before cleaning.
- Use a fiber or nylon brush, not a wire brush.
- Start cleaning at the bottom with just water and elbow grease and work your way up to the top.
- Rinse thoroughly with more clean water.
- Do not let the monument dry until you are finished rinsing.
- Some monuments will require more than one cleaning depending on how stained or dirty it is.
