Question
I have several small white pine logs peeled and ready for the kiln. The problem is they've been ready too long now. There is green mold (or maybe pollen?) on the bottom sides of all of them. My guess would be to use a pressure washer... Any suggestions?

From contributor J:
I had the same problem with logs (112 red pine) I peeled for a log cabin. It was a very wet year and the logs were in a log landing with heavy canopy cover. I finally moved them to a sunny spot and got them about two feet off of the ground. I used a solution of regular Clorox bleach and water to spray on the logs. They cleaned up nicely but did grey a bit.
Trisodium phosphate is suggested for scrubbing mold off of a surface, but follow directions as you do not want to mix it with bleach.
