Cleaning solution: A log-safe wood cleaner or oxygen-based cleaner; strippers only when refinishing.

What to know about cleaning log homes

Log homes need regular cleaning to keep mildew and insects from settling into checks and cracks, and the logs must be clean and dry before a new stain goes on.

Avoid: High pressure that furs the wood and forces water deep into checks in the logs.

How often: Every 1-2 years, and before each refinish.

Signs you need house washing for log homes

  • Green or black film on the shaded sides of the house
  • Dirt splash along the bottom of the walls
  • Cobwebs and wasp nests under the eaves
  • Chalky or dull-looking siding
  • You're planning to paint, sell or list a rental

Why it gets dirty

  • Mildew and algae in shade and humidity
  • Rain splashing soil onto the bottom courses
  • Pollen, dust and road grime
  • Spiders and insects under the soffits

What you can do yourself

  • Rinse small areas with a garden hose and a soft brush on an extension pole
  • Use a mild detergent made for siding, not household bleach straight from the bottle
  • Clear plants and furniture away from walls before a wash
  • Look for loose siding, open seams or damaged caulk before anyone washes the house

Not sure what you're looking at? The free stain identifier and safe pressure guide explain each stain and surface.

Why more pressure isn’t better

  • Water driven under siding laps and into wall cavities
  • Broken window seals and water inside the house
  • Stripped paint, raised wood grain or etched stucco from high pressure
  • Ladder falls while spraying

What happens on the day

  1. Walk the house and point out problem areas or damage
  2. Cover outlets, lights and fixtures, and pre-wet landscaping
  3. Apply a soft wash solution from the bottom up
  4. Rinse from the top down at low pressure, including eaves and soffits
  5. Rinse plants, check windows and walk the house with you

Do you use high pressure for house washing for log homes?

For log homes: low pressure with a wide tip; higher pressure only as part of stripping old finish before refinishing. What we avoid: high pressure that furs the wood and forces water deep into checks in the logs. The cleaning solution does most of the work, followed by a gentle rinse.

Is house washing for log homes safe for my plants and pets?

We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.

How often should I schedule house washing for log homes?

Every 1-2 years, and before each refinish. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.

What if it rains on the day?

Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
