Welcome back Spring! We are planning on doing a demonstration of stone cleaning with D2 at the Chelsea Heights Cemetery in Chelsea, Maine, the Sat. before Memorial Day, 28 May 2016. We'll be glad to demo during whatever time you can spare from 10am-2pm.

There is no charge and in addition to showing how to safely clean stones we will help you clean one of your own. All equipment and supplies are provided free. ( We don't own stock in D2, our only interest is in helping people realize there are non-destructive, eco-friendly ways to clean and preserve these important parts of history! )

If there are folks interested in other local cemeteries that
they think might benefit from a demo like this,
please contact Libby Doak at MCV
