Robert the cleaner you want to use is called D2. Spray it on and then leave it alone for a few weeks. Do not use any scrub brushes on the stones as it can and will damage the stones long term. Mother nature will work on it along with the D2 to clean the stone. This is the cleaner that the VA uses to clean all the head stones in all National cemeteries.
You need to watch TH-cam videos of graves being cleaned using D/2 as they do use soft brushes and it doesn't damage the stones. I have cleaned many family stones so I know what I am talking about.
@@cmg6848 -- Well, here's you something new to think about. While you can use a soft bristle brush, I simply do not recommend it and here's why. Literally thousands of headstones are very old. A person could inadvertently apply to much elbow grease while scrubbing and crack a stone internally which will grow in size over time and then fall apart. The older the stone the easier it will be to damage one. The outer surface of the stone. Letterings on the stones themselves. Brushes could scrub off or wear down the stones lettering. Again, the older the stone the easier it will happen. This is why I highly recommend using the spray and walk away method. The last thing I want to be is an unwilling participant in damaging any headstone. Now, you can use which method you want. It's up to you but these are the reasons why I only use D2 spray on method. I have been cleaning headstones for well over 35 years. I can point out stones that I cleaned 35 years ago and there is no damage to any of them. So yes, I know a little bit about what I'm talking about as well.
@James Bass Well here's the thing, you have no video's showing "your expertise" and there are plenty of video's showing experienced stone masons and conservators using brushes, also D/2 is a very recent product so try again lol.
@@cmg6848 Be happy to. D2 did not exist years ago when I first started cleaning head stones. TH-cam didn't exist back then either. As far as anything recent goes I simply just don't give a crap about making videos. Don't know how to make them and simply not going to learn how at this stage in my life. Back then I used what most everyone else used including the Government. Bleach! I also had sense enough to know that bleach had a high concentration of salt in it. So, I did a lot of old-fashioned research back then talking to people over the phone in the VA network and head stone manufacturers and almost all of them agreed on the fact that bleach could have long term effects on head stones. Back then the only thing we could do was thoroughly rinse the stones after cleaning them. Which I always did. Now, I have better things to do than bandy back and forth with the likes of you. Have a good day.
Dear Robert and Mrs. O, I think Ralph would be very pleased that you are removing the tree overgrowth from those two bushes that I have a feeling Ralph planted for Minnie. I am so impressed with your dedication to these memorials. Thank you for this.
Hi Other Robert! Thanks for your hard work. You are so kind to tend to the graves. I know you feel so sad at the graves of the little children. I am glad you have your wife to encourage you and hand you the liniament when you get home.
As another subscriber said D2 is the preferred product for cleaning grave markers. Soft bristle brushes for any scrubbing. Rinse with clear water. The stone will brighten as it dries. It is a very good product.
Well, Other Robert you certainly have given a whole new meaning to the words 'Blood', 'Sweat', and 'Tears'. Grandpa would be proud. PS love the way your gloves and cloth match your shirt, it truly is a unique ensemble.
Just a gallon? 😂 a vintage firetruck full of the stuff and he will be happy like a child🤣 By the way, I wonder if D2 is available in my country...one of my ancestors graves is getting covered in moss especialy on the stone cross, all of the names are becoming hard to read...
You might as well. I don't think he'll try to drink it. You might give him some Old Byrd Farm band-aids and first aid kit. If he keeps injuring himself you might let him drive the ambulance.⛑
I'm sure Robert will hook you up with some of the D2 stuff that he and Mr Dan and Mr Scott have used in past videos . Awesome job ! Mr. Other Robert and camera person.👕
We'll give these two people "a little breathing room." LOL! "Look alive down there." "How many blades do I have? Twenty?" "Grandpa said, ' don't ever give up.'""Look at them briars waitin' on me." I'm already bleedin'." OMG...this video was priceless. You did Grandpa proud. I was rooting for you. Thank you for taking us along. Great fun. Fantastic job on the cleanup! I'm sure Ralph and Minnie are appreciative of you and your wife for all your wonderful kindness. They must be smiling On High.💖💖
John Morgan was just 15 or 16 when he died, and he was in the Marine Corp, WW1. I would like to know what happened to him. Rest in Peace, John, your watch has been covered. Thank you for what you did for your country!
I remember the first time I saw your very first video of you guys, and it was of you guys cleaning a graveyard, You guys are amazing , you really keep history alive and you bring beauty to forgotten cemeteries You guys are just so amazing This is why so many people love your videos . Because of the heart you guys have Even though so many people have forgotten about those dead or they no longer have relatives that go there you try to keep their memories alive. You guys are just incredible. ✝️♾️🛐♥️LOL
LOL--I manage to cut or poke myself every time I go out to do yard work !! Dollar tree keeps in business cos I buy out the band aids and triple antibiotic ointment !! Great job other Robert !!

Robert, James Bass is 100% correct when he states that D2 is the best and should be the ONLY thin you use on any headstones. The other Robert used it on some of the Byrd Headstones in another cemetery. Looks like those abivorities really went nuts and just keep growing all over. You and your wife did a great job in cutting a lot of that back and getting rid of the sapplings in the middle of them both.. ANYONE that said Dawn soap is dead wrong and NEVER use it on headstone. D2 ONLY..
gloves do have useful purposes Robert...lol. Who is your little helper. I think she is a valuable addition to the group. Very beautiful. So thankful for what you do for the cemeteries.
I feel your pain. I fell on my hands hurt my hand and shoulders. I haven't worked for few years and cant go doctor. So I have deal with the pain in my shoulder. Hope you get your shoulder fixed soon it not easy pain
Hello, to the other Robert as I think you lost your partner and gained a new one behind the scenes 😉 it's looking very nice. Thanks for sharing and take care. Be careful.
Excellent job, the Other Robert and the lady with you. The flowers at the end were beautiful. I believe that the Lord smiled when He looked upon the work you two had done.
Wet the stone from the bottom up to avoid streaking as much as possible. Spray with “Wet and Forget” from Walmart to kill the growth. Scrub with plastic bristles or natural hair, no wire brushes! Dawn is good for this use as well.
Mr. Other Robert I’m sure Ralph and Mini appreciate you cleaning up their area. You can’t clean them all but that is one that needs some attention. …I have bougainvillea bushes and they are the nastiest thorns there are. I use cheep welders gloves. Thorns don’t penetrate them and they cover most of my forearms. 👍
On another note, the tree stumps can be treated with Tordon RTU. It has a pour spout and just put it around the first ring closest to the bark. Sparingly use it. The tree won’t come back. If you can cut the tree down as close to the ground as you can. Robert ( Other fellow) you’re doing a good work. Sure need more Roberts in this world.
Bravo Robert Snr!! You did an excellent clean up on those two graves. You should be very proud of yourself. The bouquets of lowers were a lovely touch at the end too. Keep up the good work. I’m sure they are smiling down from heaven at you.
Either D2 or Wet and Forget will safely clean those stones and concrete. Don't want to use anything like Dawn or any other soap because of the high pH. Great job fighting those arborvitae, fire ants and sweetbrier. I loathe sweetbrier! There's no getting rid of it unless you dig out the bulbs, and those suckers are big and glue themselves into the soil. Well done Other Robert!
According to the 1920 census, John Parrot Morgan was born in 1913. He was living with his parents, James Franklin and Eva Raybon Morgan. His headstone record said he 'died in service' 15 Apr. 1929. He enlisted on 22 Dec 1928. Age 15/16

@James Bass youtube has only been around since 2005 so not long lol.
OTHER Robert!! No forgotten tools today! Expert roping, you could have been a cowboy! Good job, sir! Good seeing you again.
Dear Robert and Mrs. O, I think Ralph would be very pleased that you are removing the tree overgrowth from those two bushes that I have a feeling Ralph planted for Minnie. I am so impressed with your dedication to these memorials. Thank you for this.
Robert, you are a determined man! You accomplished so much! It looks so good after all of your hard work! Such respect for the deceased!
Great job! Grandpa always said hard work pays off tree-mendously. 😂
BRAVO Robert senior!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You are more than Awesome 😎!
Hi Other Robert! Thanks for your hard work. You are so kind to tend to the graves. I know you feel so sad at the graves of the little children.
I am glad you have your wife to encourage you and hand you the liniament when you get home.
This man deserves so much appreciation!!! Bravo,mucho man ,Other Robert!!!! Two steak sammiches,french fries and a Coke!!

I see The Other Robert does his own stunts. Love it.
That’s right 😅
Grandpa is proud of you. Thank you for your hard work.
As another subscriber said D2 is the preferred product for cleaning grave markers. Soft bristle brushes for any scrubbing. Rinse with clear water. The stone will brighten as it dries. It is a very good product.
You are a special person. Enjoy your video's. So good having you back. Thank you
Well, Other Robert you certainly have given a whole new meaning to the words 'Blood', 'Sweat', and 'Tears'. Grandpa would be proud. PS love the way your gloves and cloth match your shirt, it truly is a unique ensemble.
My husband dresses like this--at least his heart is in the right place
My late mom had a Corvair back in the day. She said she really loved that car and nuts to Ralph Nader. 😂
Corvair! My Dad loved those. Had 5 of them. 👍
Should I buy the Other Robert a gallon of D/2???
Yes, if you think he can be trusted. Is it in the contract? 🤣🤣
Definitely!
Just a gallon? 😂 a vintage firetruck full of the stuff and he will be happy like a child🤣
By the way, I wonder if D2 is available in my country...one of my ancestors graves is getting covered in moss especialy on the stone cross, all of the names are becoming hard to read...
That and a nice scrub brush.
You might as well. I don't think he'll try to drink it. You might give him some Old Byrd Farm band-aids and first aid kit. If he keeps injuring himself you might let him drive the ambulance.⛑
D2 to clean and bless your hearts for your work. You are good people.
I'm sure Robert will hook you up with some of the D2 stuff that he and Mr Dan and Mr Scott have used in past videos . Awesome job ! Mr. Other Robert and camera person.👕
Grandpa always said : Actions speak louder than words! 👍👏

Good job Robert! Where is the other Robert? 😍 Ralph and Minnie would really appreciate what you did for them.
Y'all did a great job, Robert!
It's such a privilege to be associated with you folks, even tho' I'm in California.
John Morgan was just 15 or 16 when he died, and he was in the Marine Corp, WW1. I would like to know what happened to him. Rest in Peace, John, your watch has been covered. Thank you for what you did for your country!
And why was he in the Marines sp young?

Love these videos…..
Mr. Other Robert I’m sure Ralph and Mini appreciate you cleaning up their area. You can’t clean them all but that is one that needs some attention. …I have bougainvillea bushes and they are the nastiest thorns there are. I use cheep welders gloves. Thorns don’t penetrate them and they cover most of my forearms. 👍
Definitely calling for D2 cleaner. Works wonders. Thank you for your work Robert.
That looked like a beautiful evening to be doing a good deed. That is very kind of you. I love this channel. Thank you.❤
Beautifully done. Wow. 🤗
On another note, the tree stumps can be treated with Tordon RTU.
It has a pour spout and just put it around the first ring closest to the bark.
Sparingly use it. The tree won’t come back.
If you can cut the tree down as close to the ground as you can.
Robert ( Other fellow) you’re doing a good work.
Sure need more Roberts in this world.
Aloha 🌺 Robert & Your Assistant! Thank you,! Aloha 🌺🥰
