How to Clean Your Monument While You Sleep

What?! Clean your headstone while you sleep?!? This almost sounds too good to be true! But with D/2 Biological Solution, you can absolutely clean your monument while you sleep.

About D/2 Biological Solution

Do you ever wonder how those beautiful white headstones at Arlington National Cemetery stay so clean and pristine? Have you ever wondered how the White House stays so white? Well, the secret is D/2, the only headstone cleaning solution trusted by memorial industry professionals. 

D/2 is an easy-to-use, biological solution designed to remove stains from mold, algae, mildew, lichens, and pollutants. It is totally safe to use on marble and granite without causing chemical weathering. 

Cemetery stones, whether marble or granite, are porous. Moisture, dirt, seeds, etc get deep into the pores and cause unwanted growths and staining. Because the problem begins within the stone, the best way to clean and prevent it is to use a solution that soaks into the pores and tackles the problem from the inside out.

How to Use D2 In Your Sleep

Using D/2 to clean a monument is so incredibly easy! Simply spray the solution onto the stone and walk away. That is it! Go home and relax, sleep, spend time with your family, and let D/2 do all of the dirty work.

Of course, you need to make sure you have several consecutive days of dry, sunny weather in the forecast and use the solution liberally. While you don’t have to use the entire quart on a single small stone, it is important to use the solution as directed on the bottle and to make sure you spray the entire surface of the stone. The top, bottom, sides, and engravings- spray everything! 

After you spray the monument, simply walk away. That's it!

Check The Progress

I like to go out to the cemetery about two weeks after I spray a stone to check on it. Every once in a while, if the growth or staining was severe, it might require a re-application. But, most of the time, it is a one-and-done kind of deal!

Now that Decoration Day is just around the corner, swing by Emerson Monument Company at 806 S. Thompson in Springdale and grab a quart or two of D2 to keep your monument looking its best.
