Mill dew
In Orleans Parish post-Katrina we did soda blasting, I was there and in Mississippi for a year. This was required by code people after we gutted homes and before we could re-drywall, it has been touted as the easiest and quickest way to remove mold.
Some members use a borate solution IMMEDIATELY after pressure washing. research all of this on google :)
I would also investigate the other suggestions here by inputting "mildew" in the upper right "search" if you do that you will find the answers are here already,,,
here is a link to a video,

Sounds like you need to try
Sounds like you need to try something other than water, stop the moisture & it should help stopping the mildew.
I would NOT put any type of sealer/stain until you get everything cleaned up & dry. If there's junk under it, the stain will just seal it in, won't be pretty. Also, most stain need the logs to be a fairly low moisture content, so after cleaning they may have to sit a while.
We used a Jomax/bleach mix (recipe is on the back of the bottle) to get rid of a bit of mildew/mold/dirt after the building process, then borate treatment, then stain. No issues since.
Hi, just "joined up" with LHBA in order to communicate with other log home builders. We now have our walls up and a roof on but are having terrible problems with mildew. We've used bleach mixtures and a power sprayer but the mildew returns the next day. Does anyone have other suggestions for ridding the logs of mildew? Do we go ahead and put a sealant on despite the mildew? Would appreciate any ideas or information. Thanks...GA girl
