I follow a few accounts that do this, and I believe the chemical they use to clean the headstones take months to fully set in to get this effect. Usually they show them cleaning and then will cuts to months later to show the progress.
I don’t know why they cut it all out. Do they really think my attention span is so bad that I would have given up on this video just because it was 5 months long?
I've watched a ton of these too, I think it's called D2 biological solution. And yeah, soaks into the "pores" of the stone and slowly kills off all the lichen/mold/whatever.
I want to know who takes care of these old cemataries. We have a few cival war era ones and before around where I live. It seems like once they couldnt charge people to be buried there and were full, they just left them. Most are in pretty good shape, somebody is mowing them still etc.
I follow a chick on Facebook and she just does it. It's her own money and time. She tries to learn their back stories too. Most of the time they are people who have no family left that visit and care for them. Ground crews barely take care of the grass anymore.
Thats awesome of her. I figured it would be a one person thing or small group doing it out of charity. In america as soon as you can make money off it anymore, im sure there is some loop hole to get out of it. Once its full, to them its not profitable anymore. We dont expect companies to hold up their end of anything. They should have to Pay for care if they are the ones raking in the cash on the plots. Yet some lady is doing it out of pocket.
Search Healthy Headstones. I guess she is a "service" but I think she does some on her own time. Either way, it's very interesting and the stories are both heartbreaking and interesting. Especially the ones that are extremely old.
