[HistoricCemeteries] CLR cleaner

[Kuri Gill]

HI Ernie, 

I looked into this cleaner. This is a very harsh cleaner. This would be very damaging, especially for marble. 

I saw that others have recommended D-2. This is used by the National Park Service. 

The Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries recommends avoiding anything except water unless you have a serious biological issue that is damaging the stone and won't be solved with water alone. The Commission believes that it is more important to preserve the stone for the long term rather than attempt to restore the bright white marble.

Kuri,


A member of our cemetery asked me if CLR cleaner mixed with water can be used to clean grave markers?  I haven't heard of it and my limited Internet search says it is a household cleaner


Thanks,


Ernie
