This hydrogen peroxide based formulation continues to receive compliment after compliment for its wood brightening properties. The alternative has always been chlorine bleach or TSP but the problem with those cleaners are that they leave the wood surface with a very unnatural bleached look that rarely comes out uniformly clean, more often than not it has a "blotchy" look as if a bucket of bleach was thrown onto the house. Cedar Wash does not contain bleach nor does it require bleach to be added. Cedar Wash comes in a powdered form that when mixed with water creates millions of tiny little bubbles; these bubbles loosen all the old dead wood particles to be easily washed off along with any stains from mold. Our secret is the natural adhesives that we added to keep the product on vertical or steep pitched surfaces long enough to clean before running off. If your cedar had an old stain or sealer on them, the Cedar Wash will penetrate it, dissolving the old stain enough to be washed off. A light brushing with a scrub brush and a hose powered rinse is all that is needed to clean up your cedar shakes or shingles and save them from rotting away. Unlike chlorine bleach and TSP the Cedar Wash will not harm the vegetation around the house, it also will not stain any painted surface or any fabric that it may come in contact with. Cedar Wash works great on all types of cedar or any type of natural wood. Use it to clean fences, decks, furniture, cedar siding or roofing, barn board and log homes. Add 1/2 cup per gallon of water, mix well, stirring frequently, allow solution to fully activate for 15 minutes prior to use. To clean stains caused by moss without rinsing just apply and leave the rain will do the rinsing. Allow 60 days to pass before reapplying if needed. For instant results, apply with a pump sprayer and use a pressure washer at low speed to rinse. A scrub brush and hose may be substituted if a pressure washer is not available.
