Rustins Wood Bleach Set–Two-Part Lightening System for Removing Stains, Discolouration and Dark Finishes; Restores Natural Wood Colour, Easy-to-Use Solution for Lightening Mahogany, Oak, Pine and Teak

There’s mixed reviews with this product, but all I can saw is WOW. I had a dark wood standard lamp I was refurbishing to go in my living room. It had layers and layers of horrible lacquer on it, some of which had peels, some which had stained. So, I used a paint stripper on that and reveals this red coloured wood. I wanted it lighter so scouring the internet came across this A and B wood bleaching kit. I didn’t expect anywhere near the results I got. It’s gone so light, I’m considering getting a light wood colour to stain it back down again to the colour I want! The results were incredible and there’s no damage to the wood that I can see. I hardly used any of the two products so I’ve got a lot left for other projects in the future. There’s no smell, but I did work on it outside and then stored the lamp in the shed rather than the house to dry over night. I used white vinegar to neutralise the bleach, which is advised if you want to put a wax finish in, which I do. Well worth the time and effort for the results I got. Very happy. Oh… and wear rubber gloves! Bleach is really not on the list of recommended skin care products!

This is a fantastic product that really works. So this was the issue - We had a new oak balustrade fitted to an existing staircase but the existing handrail did not match. The new wood was light oak & the handrail was dark mahogany. So either buy a new handrail in oak - cost c.£150 or try to bleach the existing one. It worked! They now match! The product is very easy to use & only required one application. I have plenty left over for more projects - just need to find more dark wood to turn light.

I do a lot of up-cycling of old furniture and was looking to get the bleached look on a highly detailed carved table. The effect was immediate and exactly what I wanted. I have dropped one star because it is quite expensive and you must ensure that all the wood to be treated has been stripped to the same degree or it becomes quite patchy.

Absolute rubbish dont waste your money. After 4 applications of this product (had to keep reapplying in the hope that it might work next time) on a mahogany sideboard the results are poor as in picture. I have been left dissapointed on many fronts. I've ordered this twice, and both times it has arrived with the box soaking and one bottle half empty. The 1st time they also sent me 2 x bottle B instead of 1x bottle A and 1x bottle B.

Tried to get rid of a deep dark stain (maybe a vase?) in pine. Unfortunately barely touched it, even after several applications. However it worked brilliantly on some other lesser stains on the same piece of wood.

Blow away with the results, Rustins wood bleach worked great for me ( see pictures ) The secret is preparation and read the instructions. Instructions are a bit confusing but I must have got it right because it worked out great for me. Yes can recommend buying Rustins wood bleach.

This is a lot more difficult to use/do the job required. A lot of time and hard work is still needed.

Worked a lot better than I expected. One coat of both an and b applied, left to dry for 2 hours. Then a quick coat of varnish and my doors turned out the perfect colour I was after. Would absolutely purchase again if I ever needed to lighten any wood, only downside is that when they arrived they had been leaking in the box other than that amazing. Happy customer First picture.. right hand side colour of the wood I started with, then on the left hand side of it once the bleach had been applied Last picture the end result after a coat of varnish
