Decorative Stones

[onlyonpaper]

We have a family grave which has a considerable amount of decorative stones similar to countless other graves around the country. However these stones have become dirty and grubby. Is there an effective means of cleaning/washing them or is it a case of replacing them ??

based on my own family experience, the honest answer is no, its easier to replace

Depends on how ingrained the dirt is. Try collecting some and putting into a container like a paint can, quarter fill with the stone, another quarter water. Shake vigorously and empty stone out into a suitable [broken link removed]. If after a rinse you're happy with the results.....repeat ad nauseam!

When I was laying stones in my front garden I found the bags were full of sand / grit. I emptied the stones into a large garden trug that I had drilled holes into the bottom of propped up on a couple of bricks and then hosed them off in that so the dirt would drain away. Wasn't hugely fast, but did the job.
