Cleaning Bare Wood

Log Wash is the best product to use for cleaning all bare wood surfaces. Its low pH formula is compatible with the chemistry of wood which prevents unwanted reactions that can darken or discolor bare wood surfaces.

Besides removing dirt, dust, mold, pollen and sanding and blasting media residue, Log Wash will remove many types of bare wood discolorations including brown chemical stains. We strongly recommend that all bare wood surfaces be washed and conditioned with a Log Wash solution before applying any Lifeline finish systems.

Maintenance Cleaning

Use Log Wash for washing the dust and dirt off interior and exterior finished wood surfaces. Its unique formulation removes dust, dirt and other contaminates from walls and chinking without harming them. Washing your home once or twice a year with Log Wash will keep your Lifeline finish looking great and will help extend its life.

Wood ReNew is a biodegradable, non-toxic, percarbonate-based wood cleaner that brightens grayed and weathered wood. Use it to return all wood to its original natural color before applying LifeLine finishes. Wood ReNew removes UV graying, dirt, mold, mildew, grease and water stains from most wood surfaces. Wood ReNew works fast and is easy to apply. Wet down the surface you intend to treat, then mix the concentrate with water, stir and spray on. Wood ReNew will begin to fizz and foam immediately, as it eats away dirt and grime. In about ten minutes, scrub the wood with a medium-bristle brush and rinse off.

Oxcon is an easy, do-it-yourself blonding agent, designed to clean away grime and brighten up wood surfaces of exterior/interior logs, deck boards, railings and fences. This powerful blonding agent works to return gray weathered wood to its natural golden color, before to using water-resistant finishes or semi-transparent stains.

Oxcon may be applied with a sprayer, roller, brush or broom. Use liberal amounts (a flowing coat) over a specific area. Do not spot-treat since this method of application could cause blotching. Let the solution sit on the surface for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with plenty of water. Apply from bottom up and rinse from top down.
