AMS volunteered to clean the stone at no cost, employing Endurance by Atlas Preservation. Day one revealed a stone heavily encrusted with lichen, mold, and moss. Following a 15-minute treatment with Endurance, the stone was brushed gently with a natural soft-bristled brush and then rinsed. It's worth noting that the Endurance grave stone cleaner can cause a temporary shadow effect on the stone as the biocontaminants die off. Over time, the Endurance formula continues to work, effectively restoring the stone to a near-new state. The photos display the transformation from the start to the current state, highlighting the efficacy of the treatment.
