We have a cedar log home built in 73. It is 4×8 double tongue and groove log walls. Some mildew is showing on the exterior and the knot holes and a few joints need sealing. What cleaning agent should I use and what’s best to seal the knots and gaps with? Is there then a sealant or finish to keep the natural cedar color? Yearly washing? Pressure washing? Thanks

Try washing it with Perma Chink Log Wash. Use Energy Seal for the gaps, but do not fill all of the checks. As for a sealer, you need to use something with a little color to it to help block the UV. The darker you use, but still can enjoy, the better protection you will get.
