You should use a non-ionic deterrent after scraping off mould with a wooden or plastic palette blade and water. You can use a soft bristled nylon brush. Wooden orange sticks are good for getting into inscriptions.

As most non-ionic branded detergents are US based, it's difficult to decide what is the equivalent on the UK market. The cosmetic soap 'Dove' is probably the easiest available Ph neutral alternative as long as it's rinsed really, really, well.

If you've access to Facebook, one of my 'friends' who runs a headstone renovation business in the US posted the following.
