TIP's
All
of Hudson Monuments’ products are of the finest materials and
workmanship. Our memorials are built to stand the test of time, and yet
a careless action can mar an otherwise perfect piece of work. We urge
you to follow these helpful tips to maintain your memorial.
*Do
not put a candle on your memorial unless it is first placed in a holder
or container. A stain from
the wax is very difficult to remove.
We suggest using only approved containers for remembrance
candles.
*Mylar
balloons should be kept away from your memorial.
If the balloon touches and stays in contact with your memorial,
the sun may heat up the cellophane which can transfer an impression onto
your stone. This stain is hard to remove.
*Do
not use any acid or harsh cleaners on your memorial.
These products may dull the polish and shine of your stone.
*If
you put a wreath on your memorial, use string to hang it.
Wire may rust and leave a stain on the memorial.
*
Be aware that lipstick will leave an oil stain on the stone. Please
refrain from kissing your memorial with lipstick, lip balm or lip gloss
on your lips.
*If
you have flower vases on your memorial, remove the vase liners in the
winter time. If water
freezes in the liners it will cause them to crack and possibly get stuck
in the vase itself.
*It
is our recommendation that you clean your memorial at least once a year
with a mild dish detergent and a soft bristle brush, thoroughly rinsing
the stone upon completion. Make sure the water you use does not have any
rust in it. If it does, the water may stain your memorial.
*In
general, be careful what you place on your memorial. Keep in mind that
granite is naturally porous. Do
not place anything on your memorial that could freeze or melt. Those
processes could result in a stain on your stone.
