I couldn’t find a wood bleach product anywhere until i found this on Amazon. Reviews were good so i thought worth a try. So glad i did. So easy to apply. It’sa 2 step process - apply container A to the wood. Wait 5 min. While still wet apply container B. Leave for 24 hours. Sand and viola!!! Depending on the wood you may have to apply twice. Remarkable difference. This is a must try if you want to bleach wood!

I had some red oak lying around and used it for a tabletop project. I wanted a white stain to match the surroundings. I saw a post about mixing white and green stain, but it still turned out very pink. I had only applied the stain to the bottom of the tabletop as a test. I did some more research and read about "wood bleaching." I decided to give this a try on the top. Long story short, I am amazed at how well and how easily this system worked. With the Red Oak, the red/pink hue was removed, and the wood now has a very blonde hue. It worked so well that I stripped the underside and bleached it.

I first tried bleach on my furniture and it didn’t work. I then used this and it worked amazing. It removed all the orangey tones in the wood. I love the finished piece.

(Note: Not sure why Amazon is asking me to rate the "sheerness" of a chemical product, so I left that one blank.) For whatever reason, wood bleach of any description is extremely difficult to find right now -- at least in the U.S. Apparently it's everywhere in Canada -- go figure. Most Canadian dealers, however, will not sell this product to you if you live in the States, so I was pleased to find it available on Amazon. This is the real stuff -- wood bleach. It will actually remove the natural color from most woods. You will find many people who tell you that you can bleach wood with regular laundry (chlorine) bleach, or oxalic acid. Maybe under certain ideal circumstances you can, but I've always found that those methods will remove -stains- from wood, but not much (or any) of the natural color. Also, oxalic acid is extremely toxic, and I'd rather not have to use it. This stuff will. It's the real deal. Two solutions, one of concentrated sodium hydroxide, and the other of concentrated hydrogen peroxide. Yes, there are some hazards with these chemicals, but if you follow instructions and wear appropriate gear (goggles, rubber gloves, filter mask) and take reasonable care, you will be fine. This works on all wood, although the effect is more pronounced on some wood than on others. I used it on red oak -- which it basically bleached to white oak, and also on mahogany, where the effect was more subtle, but still notable. If it doesn't bleach enough on the first pass, you can repeat the application and get a lighter shade on the second go. One pass worked on the oak; I needed two to get the shade I wanted on the mahogany. Each application cycle takes overnight, until everything is dry. Although I did find that you can accelerate this process somewhat with a heat gun. If you need to bleach a large area, you may want to look into whether this comes in larger containers, given the price. Since I was working on small objects, this package was just the right size, and the cost was reasonable for my application.

It didn’t work that well for me
