It is quite expensive about £30 a gallon but it has many uses. It brought my old white plastic garden chairs up a treat as they had black mould ingrained in them.

Barbra,
Isn't there anyone on GR that lives near to where the headstone/graveyard is and go clean it for you.

Sue :-)

MIx a strong solution of bi-carb and spray the surface use a plastic scraper gently to remove as much moss and lichen as possible spray again leave for 10mins or so and wash off then dry,it may take a few goes but when clean buff with a clear wax polish.

Always do our stone with that method and it stays clean for a couple of years..

a couple of tbls of white vinegar can also be added to the solution.
