MAINTENANCE
This is a maintenance-optional siding product. We include touchup oil to match face color on end cuts, notches, and rips. Yakisugi should never be scraped, sanded or pressure washed. A very weak TSP or soap solution, neutral pH cleaner, or simply clean water, can be applied with a cloth or soft brush to wash off pollen, dirt, dust, etc. Exterior siding should be hosed down regularly to keep it clean and appearance fresh. For more detailed installation and maintenance guidance, see our
Installation Guidelines.
