Instruction manual

Using garden shears and a knife, remove overgrown weeds around the burial site. Throw them in the trash bag. Remember to wear gloves.

The moss and mold that grow between the tiles is very difficult to remove by hand. Feel free to use special preparations intended for this (e.g. Roundup).

Dampen a soft brush with soapy water and clean all the protrusions and depressions on the monument, all floral arrangements made of plastic. If the artificial flowers are too dirty, try holding them in soapy water or discard them. Then with rags moistened with clean water, wipe the entire monument.

If rusty stains appear on marble or granite, then first you need to clean them with the rough side of the sponge. Then moisten the cloth with hydrogen peroxide and remove stains.

If flowers grow on the grave, then you need to take care of them often: watering, removing dried flowers and mulching - all this must be done at least 2 times a month.

If the grave is surrounded by a fence around the perimeter, it is necessary to paint it every spring.

In order to update the inscriptions carved on marble, you must first degrease them with a brush moistened with white spirit or acetone. Then wipe the inscription with a cloth moistened with water to remove acetone or white spirit. Then protect the marble with cardboard or paper, securing them with adhesive tape. Spray a well-protected marble with a special spray paint for smooth surfaces. After the paint begins to dry, remove excess paint with a dry cloth. Let it dry. Then paint the inscription with a brush with colorless varnish.
