What To Expect When Maintaining Bronze Plaques

The erection of a bronze memorial stone is becoming a favorable option at cemeteries as it delivers exceptional durability and aesthetically pleasing designs. A headstone is often secured with a granite or a marble base because of its durability. To ensure that its shine and form are maintained, there are a number of routine cleaning procedures that should be applied to bronze plaques to deliver the best possible results.

There are multiple layers that cover the metal including a solid coat that will minimize the possibility of deterioration when exposed to the elements. With time, the protective coat will begin to wear away and should be maintained to ensure that the raw metal does not become damaged. The cemetery may provide regular maintenance.

A plaque can be maintained by developing a water based mixture. The aim is to create a solution with a small amount of ivory soap in a medium sized bucket of water. A scrubbing brush can be used to eliminate the dirt and the dust that have accumulated on the surface areas.

The scrubbed surface can be cleaned with water and excess particles eliminated. A solution of distilled water is needed to eliminate chemicals and prevent against the possible of a reaction. A soft cloth should be applied to the area to aid in the removal of moisture and to eliminate the soap from the surface areas.

There are many ways that one can achieve a breathtaking shine in the metal. Buffering the surface of the metal with the application of a wax can aid in preserving the surface and improving its appeal. This will further protect from additional damages that could wear and tarnish the metal.

A bronze plaque is certainly one of the most beautiful designs as a memorial. If any deterioration is detected, it should be addressed with wax and a thorough polish to prevent further deterioration and unattractive results. With the right type of care, it is possible to maintain the appeal and form of these stones.
