Cleaning Tips for your Log Home
If you are thinking of cleaning your log home it doesn't have to be anymore than a light mixture of a wood cleaning solution that you would rinse of with water. Cleaning your log home is a very important step before you apply your stain. It wouldn't be wise to apply stain over dirty log walls if you want your home to maintain its new appearance. To clean your log home all you need to do is apply a mild cleaning solution with a garden pump sprayer and after about 15 minutes just rinse lightly with water. Try not to leave any cleaning solution on the wood to dry. The higher up on the log the faster it darkens with more sun exposure, also it is easier for dirt and pollen to settle there making it an ideal area for fungal growth. Apply the cleaner from the bottom and move up the wall then rinse in the opposite direction. More on cleaning your log home in another blog.

These are very helpful! Cleaning and staining log homes is very delicate. And patience is the key factor to guarantee the homeowner will have a great looking and long-lasting result. However, there are some who are unaware of the process and tend to experiment on different things. Good thing there are a lot of people like you who shared their knowledge or real life experience to help others.
