Log Wash is The Easy-to-Use Cleaner for Interior and Exterior Surfaces
The initial reason we developed Log Wash™ was for cleaning finished log home exterior surfaces. We found that all of the products typically recommended for general maintenance cleaning like Spic & Span, Mr. Clean or even mild dishwashing soaps softened finished surfaces during the cleaning process. This resulted in potential finish damage, especially if a pressure washer or a brush was used. It turned out that the one thing these cleaners all had in common was their high pH. When we tried the Log Wash formulation we found that it hardened the surface of our finish system and no damage occurred to the finish - even with vigorous scrubbing. It was only later that we discovered the benefits of using Log Wash on bare wood.

Restoration FAQ
If your log home has an unknown finish, it's best to take it down to bare wood. If you know that it's been finished with Perma-Chink Systems products, you can clean and reapply finish or topcoat. For the best products to use, read this.
We have the perfect solution for repairing log rot in wood with our E-Wood and M-Balm products. Read more here.
Dark or discolored log homes can mean a couple of things. One is it's dirty and a thorough cleaning will bring back the original look. Another is the wrong finish was applied and it's covered in mold, mildew, and other stains. Restoration steps begin here.
Restoration Reviews
Our contractor used the Strip-It product on the log home that we recently purchased. He used an airless sprayer and then pressure washed the home. It did a great job of removing the dark paint on it. Soon, we will be applying your Ultra-2 stain and Advance topcoat. We couldn't be more pleased with how our project is going so far, so thank you Perma-Chink!

We received your samples of S-100 and Strip-It to try on our logs. Strip-It worked the best as our finish remover. We were able to leave it on overnight and we used a pressure washer to remove the old finish the next day. Now we are continuing the restoration process and are planning on using more products from Perma-Chink Systems.

I found this product to be fairly easy to work with. Our home had a couple of places where animals had chewed on the logs in the past, so we wanted to fill in those areas. We cleaned those areas up, then applied a little M-Balm, and then put the E-Wood right on top of it. We had to sand it down a little, but it does look pretty good so far. We are going to stain over it soon.

As a log home restoration company, E-Wood is used in many applications for restoration. We use it on broken or cracked wood, and fill in where knots have fallen out of pine boards. It is easy to use: Mix equal parts with your hands (use gloves), shape and apply to affected area. Let dry, sand and stain. It does not shrink or pull away. It is a good product: Thank you, Perma-Chink!
