Cleaning old wood can be tricky. I have found that many commercial wood cleaners can be much too harsh. I don’t want to raise the grain and end up with a fuzzy surface nor do I want to damage the underlying finish if there is one.
Pressure washing on a log home is out of the question.
The task at hand here is to clean the old logs on the veranda. They have probably never been cleaned and are mostly black from years of soot and general grime from when this place was a tavern and relied on coal and wood to heat.
