As we roll into the dog days of summer, I wanted to take a quick detour on my way home to show you something special. About a year ago, we came out to this old cemetery to demonstrate the power of one of my favorite chemicals in our lineup: Monu-Mental`. This cleaner is specifically designed for monuments, tombstones, and other sensitive surfaces where using bleach is a big no-no.
Last July, we tackled a pretty tough job here: cleaning a statue of Jesus, the woman at the well, and a patio flagstone area. I’m excited to report that even after a year, everything still looks freaking amazing! I hope the wind isn’t messing with the mic too much, but you can see for yourself—this place still shines like it did the day we finished.
To give you some background, Monu-Mental is incredibly easy to use. We applied the first coat using a pump-up sprayer and then came back five days later for a second coat. Honestly, we probably could have gotten away with just one coat, especially on the horizontal surfaces, but I wanted to capture the best footage for you guys. On the tenth day, we wrapped up the original video, and the results were stunning. And now, a year later, the statue looks almost brand new.
This cemetery is pretty special to me—my great-grandad, a World War II and Korea vet, is buried somewhere nearby. It’s been here a long time, and they had never cleaned the statue before we came out. Everything was completely black before Monu-Mental worked its magic.
Monu-Mental is a must-have for any contractor’s tool belt. It’s perfect for jobs where bleach isn’t an option, especially on sensitive stones. If you’re dealing with monuments, tombstones, or any similar surfaces, this cleaner will get the job done right, and it’s almost impossible to mess up.
A quick heads-up: we’re down for the week of the Fourth, as we are every year. We also close up shop the week of Christmas. So if you’re planning to visit us at the shop, just know that the gates are locked, and nobody’s home—we’re busy enjoying some hot dogs, hamburgers, and trying to stay cool. The website is still running, so you can place your orders as usual, but expect a slight delay in processing.
In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for more jobs like this one, where Monu-Mental can shine. And have a fantastic Fourth of July! We’ll catch you in the next video.
