Stone King® Gravestone & Ornamental Stone Cleaner (2 Litres)

Restore the Natural Beauty of Gravestones, Statues and Garden Ornaments

Over time, gravestones, memorials and ornamental stone naturally become affected by dirt, algae, organic staining and black marks caused by exposure to the elements. Rain, damp conditions and years of weathering can gradually hide the original beauty of the stone, leaving cherished memorials and decorative features looking neglected.

Stone King® Gravestone & Ornamental Stone Cleaner has been specially formulated to gently remove stubborn dirt, grime, algae and organic staining without the need for aggressive scrubbing or excessive pressure washing. The formula clings to the stone's surface, helping it penetrate contamination before rinsing away to reveal a cleaner, brighter finish.

Whether you're caring for a loved one's memorial or restoring decorative stonework in your garden, Stone King provides an effective cleaning solution that's designed to be tough on stains while remaining gentle on the stone itself.

How to Apply Stone King®

Step 1 – Prepare the Area

Where possible, move smaller ornaments onto a hard surface so any residue can be rinsed away easily. If cleaning a fixed memorial or gravestone, protect nearby grass and plants from overspray, particularly during windy conditions.

Step 2 – Fill Your Sprayer

Pour Stone King® into a handheld pump sprayer with a capacity of approximately 750ml–2 litres.

Step 3 – Apply Evenly

Spray the surface from top to bottom, ensuring complete coverage.

Step 4 – Apply a Second Coat

Immediately apply a second coat to fully saturate the stone and maximise contact with the staining.

Step 5 – Allow the Product to Work

Leave Stone King® on the surface for approximately one hour so the formula can penetrate dirt, algae and organic staining.

Step 6 – Rinse Thoroughly

Wash the stone thoroughly using clean water to reveal a cleaner, refreshed appearance.

Step 7 – Repeat if Required

Older stone or heavily weathered surfaces may require additional application to achieve the best possible results.

Looking After Ornamental Stone

Regular cleaning helps prevent dirt and organic staining from becoming deeply established, making future maintenance easier while preserving the appearance of your gravestones, memorials and ornamental stone for years to come. With routine care, Stone King® provides a simple, effective way to keep these important features looking clean, well cared for and respectful.

How do I apply stone cleaner properly?

To apply stone cleaner correctly, ensure the surface is free from loose debris, then wet it evenly with the cleaning solution. Allow the product enough time to work, gently brush if needed, and rinse thoroughly. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions closely for the best results, as dwell times and coverage vary between stone types and conditions.

What is the best thing to clean gravestones?

The best way to clean gravestones is to use a gentle, stone-safe cleaning solution specifically formulated for memorial stone. These products lift dirt, grime and years of biological staining without damaging delicate surfaces. Avoid bleach and acidic cleaners, which can erode lettering or weaken the stone. A soft brush and plenty of water help achieve a safe, even clean.

How do you make a gravestone look new again?

To make a gravestone look new again, start by removing surface dirt and biological staining with a stone-safe cleaner. These treatments help break down green stains and dark staining without harming the stone. Gently brushing and rinsing reveal the natural colour beneath. Consistent, careful maintenance helps preserve the fresh appearance once the stone has been restored.

How to clean stone ornaments?

Stone ornaments can be cleaned by applying a gentle cleaner formulated for natural stone and allowing it time to work before lightly washing the surface. This breaks down dirt, grime, and weathering without scratching or eroding the stone. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives, as they can permanently damage fine details or textured finishes.

What removes black stains from stone ornaments?

Black stains on stone ornaments are often caused by organic staining and respond best to a stone-safe treatment designed to break down discolouration. These cleaners work deep into the pores of the stone to lift dark staining without harsh scrubbing. Using a purpose-made solution avoids the damage that acidic or bleach-based products can cause.

What’s the safest way to restore stone statues?

The safest way to restore stone statues is to use a non-acidic, stone-safe cleaner applied gently with minimal scrubbing. This approach removes organic staining and surface staining without harming delicate carvings or aged stone. Avoid high-pressure washing or strong chemicals, as they can erode fine details. Regular gentle cleaning helps maintain the restored finish.

Can I clean a gravestone without pressure washing?

Yes. Gravestones can be cleaned effectively without pressure washing by using a dedicated stone-cleaning solution that breaks down dirt, organic staining and discolouration. Gentle brushing and rinsing are usually enough to lift residues. This method is much safer for older or softer stones, which can be damaged by aggressive pressure water.

Does rain affect stone cleaner performance?

Light rain may dilute stone cleaner and reduce its effectiveness, so treatments generally work best in dry weather. The product needs time to dwell with staining and organic matter without being washed away. Choosing a calm, dry period ensures the cleaner adheres properly and delivers the full cleaning effect before rinsing.

Will stone cleaner remove black stains?

A good stone-safe cleaner can remove stubborn black staining, although stubborn patches may require more than one application. These treatments break down organic stains so it can be rinsed away without harsh scrubbing. Regular maintenance afterward helps prevent staining from returning and keeps the stone looking brighter for longer.

How do I brighten discoloured stonework?

Discoloured stonework can be brightened by using a non-acidic cleaner that lifts dirt, grime, and weathering deposits from the surface. Once the treatment has worked, gentle brushing reveals the stone’s original tone. Avoid bleach or acidic solutions, as they often worsen discolouration. Regular gentle cleaning helps maintain a brighter, more even appearance.
