Abstract

It has long been the practice to clean monuments and memorials, in fact, any stone surface through the use of harsh chemicals or physical removal systems, such as sand blasting. A compound containing ammonium fluoride (NH4F), ammonium bifluoride (NH4F.HF), denatured alcohol (CH2H60) and water is mixed in an aqueous solution for use as a cleaning agent for all stone products and structures. A method of cleaning the stone items is also disclosed.
