    An overlooked veteran's grave that needed a good cleaning. Now passersby can clearly read Frederick Parmelee's gravestone and show him a moments respect for his service in the 20th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry Company A.

    It looks great. It will look like new in about three months. It’s incredible how they are transformed. Thank you for honoring him!

      Thank you very much. It is north facing so it will get some growth and filth back on it in a few years. I'll be back then to clean it once more! Thanks for the kind words

      Why would it look new in 3 months? I don't understand

      ​@@TheCreativeCurrentYT - the stone cleaning solution will actually kill the moss on the stone and remove some staining in the stone. Sadly this takes time for it to work as it uses mother nature's help, sometimes months to see its full effect.

      Hello Mary Jo, I am located in Connecticut. You have a very keen eye! Thank you I will start adding in site information (and personal info about the grave resident) in my next videos. I just started this channel so Im new to all of this. Do you think I should do this with audio or with text on screen? Thanks for the comment and I wish you a happy holiday season.

      I would do a text on the screen or in the description. Some people like me enjoy ASMR and the natural wouldn’t without talking.

      What do you mean? The goal is not to make it look like new. Simply to remove the vegetation and film and let is shine again and have it be more visible. These are old stones.

      Read the first comment. Sometimes it takes a month or more until the stone is brighter

    It is too bad that a pressure washer would destroy these. It is fast, but not good for every surface.

      Yes it's very destructive to old stones and cause irreversible damage. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.

    Don’t be offended but if you use water first then the cleaning solution, you will notice you use much less cleaning solution.
