Cedar Wash

This hydrogen peroxide based formulation with natural wood brighteners continues to receive compliment after compliment. The alternative has always been chlorine bleach or TSP but the problem with those cleaners are that they leave the wood surface with a very unnatural bleached look, and rarely comes out uniformly clean, with a "blotchy" look that looks as if a bucket of bleach was thrown on the house.

Our cedar cleaning product does not contain bleach nor does it require bleach to be added. Cedar Wash comes in a powdered form that when mixed with water creates millions of tiny little bubbles. These bubbles loosen all mold and fungus that may be attached to the wood surfaces. Our advantage is the natural adhesive, that we added, to keep the product on vertical or steep pitched surfaces long enough to clean before running off. A light brushing with a scrub brush and a hose powered rinse is all that is needed to clean up your cedar shakes or shingle and save them from rotting away.

Pressure washing cedar shakes or shingles without prior treatment of cedar can actually make your situation worse. Direct pressure can imbed mold spores into the wood and if you are applying a stain or sealant the mold will come back through. High pressure power washing is not advised as when the pressure hits the surface, it spreads the mold.

Like cutting dandelions with your lawn mower to remove them from your lawn, untreated pressure washing is a short term solution at best. If the mold is treated first with the Cedar Wash then pressure washed very lightly, (no more than 1,000 psi) with the spray angled down, as rain would fall, the cleaning process is accelerated and will not spread the mold nor damage or scar the cedar.Unlike chlorine bleach and TSP the Cedar Wash will not harm the vegetation around the house. It also will not stain any painted surface or fabric that it may come in contact with.

It is called Cedar Wash but it is a wood cleaner and works great on log homes, boat teak, barn board or any natural wood surface. It's a "must use" prior to sealing or staining any wood surface.
