The Gettysburg Keller Williams Keystone Realty team did some volunteer work this last Thursday at the Gettysburg National Cemetery. The National Cemetery recently hired a new staff member to help maintain the headstones along with some other duties. The head stones were not being regularly cleaned so we were a test group for some future volunteers. Our objective was to wet the stones down with mild cleaner, scrub, wait, and rinse with water. It was amazing how much more clean the head stones were after our treatment. The goal wasn't to make them bleach white on the first treatment but over time they should really start to shine.
We spent about 2.5 hours and cleaned about 150 head stones. We could have done more but we ran out of solution. It was a great event and was much appreciated by the people at the park service.
