Cleaning Cemetery Stones: Q&A in Bristol
How do you clear baked schist dust from carved letters near Bristol?
By rinsing before brushing, because dry schist grit drags across the stone and scratches the polish.
Can fragile historic Vermont marble be cleaned and stabilized near Bristol?
Yes, though stone that has crumbled away cannot come back, so the Bristol crew works to keep the carving that remains.
Why do mowers keep hitting stones in cemeteries around Bristol?
Because chips build up each season, the cemetery can be asked to hand-trim beside stones, and the crew records damage.
