Here is some information extracted from a posting by the Association of Gravestone Studies.

"Some Gravestone Rubbings Dos and Don'ts From "Gravestone Rubbing for Beginners," a leaflet available from the Association for Gravestone Studies.

"Please Do"

Use a soft brush and plain water to do any necessary stone cleaning.

"Please Don't"

Don't use shaving cream, chalk, graphite, dirt, or other concoctions in an attempt to read worn inscriptions.
Using a large mirror to direct bright sunlight diagonally across the face of a gravemarker casts shadows in indentations and makes inscriptions more visible.
Don't use stiff-bristled or wire brushes, putty knives, nail files, or any metal object to clean or to remove lichen from the stone; Soft natural bristled brushes, whisk brooms, or wooden sticks are usually OK if used gently and carefully.
Don't attempt to remove stubborn lichen.
Soft lichen may be thoroughly soaked with plain water and then loosened with a gum eraser or a wooden popsicle stick. Be gentle. Stop if lichen does not come off easily. "
