GOT QUESTIONS?
Finishing cleaner
questions.
Everything to know before your next finish.
What does the Finishing Cleaner do?
It's step two of our Strip & Clean system. After you scrape off the stripper, it lifts the leftover gel and dissolved paint so your new stain, paint or sealer grips bare wood. It also pulls old stain out of the grain and cleans furniture before you paint.
Do I need it after using your stripper?
We recommend it. Stripper residue left on the wood can fight your new finish. One pass with the cleaner and a pad takes it off, and a clean damp rag finishes the job.
How do I use it?
Right after you scrape, spray or pour it on, or apply it with a wet rag or sponge. Scrub with a pad or 0000 steel wool, wipe with a clean damp rag, and let the piece dry fully before you refinish. Repeat on any spots where residue is left.
Should I dilute it?
For most residue, mix it 1:1 with clean water. Use it full strength for heavy residue or old stain. A gallon covers roughly 100 to 150 sq ft, depending on how much you dilute it.
Can it remove old stain?
Often, yes. Wet the stained area, let it sit 15 to 30 minutes, then scrub with 0000 steel wool. Darker stains can take two or three passes. Test a hidden spot first.
Will it strip paint on its own?
No. It takes off light varnish and old stain, but for paint or a full finish, strip first with our Furniture Stripper, then clean with this.
Can I use it before painting, without stripping?
Yes. Diluted, it cuts grease and grime on old furniture and cabinets so paint sticks better. Wipe it on, wipe it off with a damp rag and let it dry.
What surfaces can I use it on?
Bare and stripped wood, finished furniture and cabinets you're prepping for paint, and metal furniture and hardware. Test a small hidden spot first on anything delicate.
Does it contain Prop 65 chemicals?
No. Our Finishing Cleaner's Safety Data Sheet lists no Proposition 65 chemicals, and it's made without solvents or phosphates. Wear gloves and safety glasses while you work, since it can irritate eyes and skin.
Which size should I get?
A quart covers roughly 25 to 35 sq ft, about one dresser or table after stripping. The gallon covers 100 to 150 sq ft and is the better buy for cabinets, several pieces or diluting for prep. The 5 gallon is for pros and big jobs.
