Before and After Using Wet & Forget on Headstone

How can a product clean up moss, mold, mildew, and algae without scrubbing or power washing? Although skepticism crept in, Faye M. from Chehalis, WA, decided to purchase Wet & Forget Concentrate anyways. Now, Wet & Forget is Faye’s go-to exterior surface cleaner!

Faye first discovered Wet & Forget as she was looking for a new product to clean her driveway without any extra hassle.

“I saw it four years ago at Costco during the springtime. I wanted to clean my blacktop driveway that had algae on it.” -Faye M. from Chehalis, WA.

So, she purchased the Wet & Forget Concentrate to see how well it truly performs as an exterior surface cleaner.

Faye read the instructions on the back and mixed the solution of 1 part Wet & Forget and 5 parts water in her garden sprayer. And within a matter of minutes, she completed her first Wet & Forget application. 

Wet & Forget works with Mother Nature to lift and remove the dead growth over time. So, Faye decided to give it a few days to work.

When she followed up, she noticed that the green algae that once coated her blacktop driveway were now diminishing!

“It had worked so well on my driveway that I thought of trying it on some of my family members’ headstones.” -Faye M.

Faye decided to do some research to make sure Wet & Forget was safe to use on headstones. She saw Trae Zipperer’s cleaning headstones by Memorial Day blog and felt reassured.

“I saw that Trae uses Wet & Forget to clean headstones too and followed the instructions. ” -Faye M.

One of the smaller headstones had mold and mildew growth because it hadn’t been cleaned in the past. Plus, it only took Faye a few seconds to spray it down with Wet & Forget.

When she returned a few weeks later to see the results, she immeditaly noticed how clean the headstone was since it stood out against the darkened headstones nearby.

Before and after using Wet & Forget as exterior surface cleaner

Because Wet & Forget had worked so well on the smaller headstone, Faye wanted to treat a larger, ornate headstone next.

Faye knew it would take several applications to fully remove the built up black mold, mildew, and lichen off the surfaces, but she was now on a mission to clean the beautiful headstone by Memorial Day.

“There is a beautiful ornate 120-year-old headstone. So, I decided to make it look like new.” -Faye M.

She first cleaned off the dirt and grass blades from the base of the large headstone. Then, she drenched the headstone with Wet & Forget Concentrate.

Due to the darkened state of the headstone, a second application was needed. Faye also made sure to saturate the nooks and crannies on the headstone when she was applying Wet & Forget.

Two weeks had passed before she went back to the cemetery. But Faye could see that the headstone was getting cleaner and cleaner with each rainfall that came through.

However, there were still some areas on the headstone that were stained. Faye applied a third Wet & Forget Concentrate application to remove the remaining stubborn growth on the headstone.

“Wet & Forget Concentrate works unbelievably well without much effort- there’s no need for elbow grease!” -Faye M.

But that was all it took; Three applications and some light scrubbing to revive the 120-year-old stone.

Now, that headstone can be seen from afar!

Headstone Transformation using Wet & Forget

“The stone is white sitting on a marble base and can be seen from the highway leading up the cemetery.” -Faye M.

After using Wet & Forget as an exterior surface cleaner, Faye has since told numerous people about Wet & Forget. Including her cousin, who now also uses Wet & Forget to clean Veteran headstones in Vancouver, WA. 

Faye realized she could branch out and try the other cleaners that Wet & Forget offered with the success that followed. 

“I figured if the Concentrate worked that well, then the others must as well. I have the Outdoor Hose End, Miss Muffet’s Revenge, and Shower Cleaner.” -Faye M.

Faye searched ‘Wet and Forget’ and browsed our selection of cleaners. 

To clean her metal roof and siding, Faye uses the Xtreme Reach™ Hose End. She uses it on her moldy concrete block wall as well!

When it comes to the spiders, she deters and kills spiders with Miss Muffet’s Revenge. Instead of shop vacuuming spiders, Faye grabs her bottle of Miss Muffet’s and sprays away. 

And, to keep her shower and tub sparkling, she uses the Weekly Shower Cleaner. So, there’s no longer a need to scrub her shower surfaces endlessly. 

“All are excellent products and work as stated on the bottles.” -Faye M.
