Hello,

My name is Peter and I have been tasked with ”cleaning” my brothers recently purchased 5 year old log cabin. Can I just hit this thing with a low preasure power washer and some dish soap. We live in New England and it looks like he has some moss/mold or acid rain staining, or something.

Thanks,

Wash it with a soft brush and a mixture of 1 cup bleach and 1 cup TSP to 4-5 gallons of warm water. You then can ”MIST” the house to rinse it with you power washer. True power washing is not a good thing for log homes.
