Log Home Restoration: Quick Tip

It is a good idea to apply a chlorine solution to the logs after stripping. Although the stripping process will remove any mold or mildew  that is visable, the spores can remain in cracks and checks that the stripper may not have reached. Once the new finish is applied it very likely the spores will grow and spread underneath the stain. This is evidenced by black spots appearing. If it can be removed by applying chlorine, then it is on the surface of the log and not a big problem.  However, if it can not be removed, it is under the finish. If that is the case, the only solution is to strip again. So, it is well worth the time it takes to apply chlorine. For more log home restoration tips click here.
