Step 2 – Gentle Pressure Washing
Once the cleaning solution has done its job, we rinse the surface using carefully controlled, moderate pressure.
This removes contaminants without damaging the cedar fibers. The result is a thoroughly cleaned surface while preserving the integrity and character of the wood.
Step 3 – Wood Brightening
Finally, we apply a professional wood brightener.
This important finishing step helps:
Restore the wood’s natural colour
Neutralize the cleaning solution
Enhance the appearance of the cedar
Prepare the surface for future staining or sealing if desired
The finished result often makes decades-old cedar shake look remarkably close to new again
