Basic Details To Notice When Looking After Memorial Bronze Plaques

The erection of a bronze memorial stone is becoming a favorable option at cemeteries as it delivers exceptional durability and aesthetically pleasing designs. A headstone is often secured with a granite or a marble base because of its durability. To ensure that its shine and form are maintained, there are a number of routine cleaning procedures that should be applied to bronze plaques to deliver the best possible results.

Over time, the coating may wear down and requires regular maintenance to minimize the possibility of exposing the raw metal. Cemeteries often include maintenance services that should be determined or steps for care need to be put in place.

A mixture including a watery base can be developed in order to clean the plaque. The purpose is to remove excess debris and to develop a solution consisting of ivory soap and water. A hard scrubbing brush can be used to clear the plaque of all dirt, sand, and waste that may have accumulated.

This step should only be performed one the area is completely dry and may be enhanced with a quality wax developed for use with metals. This will not only deliver the breathtaking shine, but also protect the surface from further damage.
