OVERVIEW
The safest, most effective furniture stripper you've never heard of.

- Safe for use indoors, no ventilation equipment required
- Gentle on wood grain, won't raise fibers or damage detail work
- Concentrated formula: covers up to 75 sq ft per half gallon
- Biodegradable, non toxic, and low VOC

Prep & apply

Common questions
FAQ
Everything you need to know before you start your project.
Is it safe to use indoors with kids and pets around?
Yes. Our soy-based formula is non-toxic, low-VOC, and contains zero NMP or methylene chloride. We still recommend keeping children and pets out of the immediate work area during application. Standard best practice for any project.
How long does it take to work?
Latex, oil & chalk paint typically lift in 50–60 minutes. Polyurethane, lacquer and epoxy need 5–8 hours. You'll see the finish bubble or visibly soften when it's ready to scrape.
Will it work on vertical surfaces like cabinets?
Yes. The gel formula clings to vertical surfaces without dripping. It's specifically designed for cabinets, doors, banisters and chair legs.
Do I need to sand after stripping?
For best paint or stain adhesion, light sanding to 220 grit is recommended. After neutralizing the surface, many customers refinish directly without sanding.
Will it remove wood stain?
The stripper alone won't fully lift stain. For stained sections, apply GreenEZ Finishing Cleaner (sold separately), let dwell 15–30 minutes, then scrub with fine steel wool.
Do I need the Finishing Cleaner too?
We recommend it. The Finishing Cleaner neutralizes any residue from the stripping process, which ensures your new finish adheres properly. Without it, you may see adhesion issues or bleed-through. These two products are designed as a system — the Furniture Stripper Kit includes both.
