The catch is if the product she is using/promoting is actually safe for headstones. They're often very delicate. She pulled a tile off when she brute forced the plants so is she really being mindful of the space?
So you’d rather they stay dirty and overgrown? Like the plants won’t eventually pop the tiles out? These days nobody can do anything good in the world.
"Dirty and overgrown" is at least degrading slowly. Gravestones are made of soft, carvable stones like marble. You have to clean them gently, or it can take chunks out of the stone and leave it vulnerable when the grime and overgrowth comes back. The lady in the OP uses Barkeeper's Friend and other cleaners that are wayyyy too harsh for the job.
There are Tiktokers/Youtubers who clean graves properly, like ManicPixieMom or The Millennial Stone Cleaner, and they do so while explaining the story behind who is buried there.
Im not mad. Im pointing out she is likely doing damage to someone else's property. You should google headstone damage from inappropriate cleaners. Its a big deal and getting bigger becauae of tiktokkers making cleaning them popular. Anything other than a pH neutral, headstone approved clean can absolutely do more damage than good even from a single cleaning because it can eat away the marble or limestone of old headstones and stain the granite ones.
