Cedar doesn't have to look its age. Safe Structures Cedar Wash cuts through years of mildew, algae, and grime to reveal the warm, natural grain beneath — leaving your decks, fences, and siding looking freshly milled and ready for whatever comes next.
Why Safe Structures Cedar Wash?
Most wood cleaners are either too harsh — stripping fibers and bleaching color — or too weak to tackle real outdoor buildup. Safe Structures Cedar Wash hits the sweet spot: a professional-strength formula that lifts stubborn organic stains without damaging cedar's natural texture or tone. It's the same trusted solution used by contractors at lodges, resorts, and large-scale residential projects.
Each case includes two 20lb pails, giving you the volume needed for large surface areas or multiple projects without running short mid-job.
