Get Your Cabin Ready for Summer It’s just about that time of year, when you escape to the water, mountains or other getaway for the weekend. I remember vacationing with my family at a lake in Maine in a cozy log cabin for a week each summer. Since then, I’ve always loved the look of log cabins, but never knew the necessary work it required. Log cabins, like any home require regular maintenance. With harsh outdoor elements and normal wear, a home needs to be clean and sealed, however it may be even more important for wood cabins. As wood is exposed to the suns’ rays, it will begin to loose its beautiful color and dry out. At Renew Crew, we can revitalize your log cabin with our wood cleaning and protecting. 
Take this project from Renew Crew of Lake Gaston for example. As you can see, the log cabin needed an update. The wood has started to grey in areas leaving the color inconsistent throughout the surface. Renew Crew came out to preform its three-step wood process. The first step in log cabin cleaning is to foam the entire service with a wood cleaning product. Unlike other pressure washing companies, Renew Crew uses a foam product so that it can really work its way into the service. Liquid cleaning detergents tend to run down vertical spaces before it can loosen dirt and dead wood fibers. 
After allowing the wood cleaner to work, the surface is rinsed with a low-pressure washer. The water pressure will rid the surface of the dirt, grime and fibers. It’s in this step when you will notice the difference professional surface cleaning can do. The last step is arguably the most important: protection. After the log cabin has dried completely, Renew Crew applies a protective layer that will stop water and dirt from getting back into the wood’s pores. Additionally, it will reflect the UV-rays from the sun so it won’t dry out as quickly. While the protection factor is important, the application will also bring back the color of the wood. Renew Crew has a number of different color protectants for our clients to choose from. If you want to look at a beautifully clean log cabin this summer, please reach out to your local Renew Crew office.
