Usual Care :
- Predominantly made of granite, gravestones can by cared for by using Real Black Soap with Linseed Oil LOUIS XIII or Wax and Dirt Remover Louis XIII if they are very dirty. Suitable for annual cleaning.
- For gravestones made of marble and which are therefore porous, we recommend Marble Cleaner / Grime Remover Louis XIII.
- In case of presence of moss, use Anti Moss Concentrate T5000 to eliminate the existing moss and prevent its regrowth.
- To eliminate resistant calcareous stains, apply Marble Polisher LOUIS XIII with its Varnishing and Polishing Pad below. It contains a very fine natural powder which helps to get rid of even the most resistant stains.
- For impregnated and solidified grease stains, use Wood Floor & Tile Cleaner / Grease Remover and the Terre de Sommières to liquefy and absorb these stains.
Protection :
Afterwards, we propose 2 solutions to protect gravestones against bad weather:
- Terrazo Sealer SODERSOL, a solvented formula, which improves the penetration of the product, and gives a satiny finish and highlights the colours. Choose the formula adapted to the porosity of your stone (yellow formula for stones with low porosity like granite and marble).
-Anti-Stain Impregnator Louis XIII, also a solvented formula, but which does not change the appearance of the treated surface.
For easy and effortless application of these products, use our Flat Mop VALMOUR below, without needing to stoop or to wet your hands !
Gilding :
Valmour also recommends the use of Tolemail Gilding Paint to renovate the engravings on these gravestones, or Gilding Varnish Louis XIII for an appearance more similar to gold leaf.
- to reinforce protection of the engravings, use Cristal Varnish LOUIS XIII Spray or Liquid.
- Easy application with a Thin Flat Paint Brush or a Thin Round Paint Brush.
- Copper alloy elements like bronze and brass decorations can be easily renovated with MECANO Copper Cleaner below.
Painting :
- The engravings can also be painted with other colours (see pictures above). We recommend Super Shiny Lacquer Paint Flambo, which is available in small cans of 50 ml, in 22 colours. Very covering, easy to apply, no running, very resistant to bad weather conditions.
