Our experts recommend regularly inspecting the siding for any signs of wear and cleaning it to prevent dirt and debris buildup. Over time, natural wood may develop a beautiful weathered patina, which can be embraced or maintained with light cleaning and occasional refinishing.

Cleaning Natural Wood Siding is easy and helps maintain its look. If you choose to use a pressure washer for exterior siding, our experts recommend setting it to a low-pressure setting and maintaining a safe distance from the siding. Always test the pressure on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure it doesn't damage the wood. For a more controlled cleaning process, consider using a garden hose with a soft-bristle brush and a mild cleaning solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the wood’s surface. 

To stain Natural Wood Siding, begin by cleaning the surface. Then, apply a high-quality wood stain with a brush, roller, or sprayer, following the grain direction. For a deeper finish, apply multiple coats, allowing each to dry thoroughly before applying the next. Choose a stain that complements the wood’s natural tones and provides protection against UV damage. A good stain enhances the wood’s richness while maintaining its organic beauty.
