good product

Worked as anticipated. Some spots did need 2 cleanings.

Really works well

This product along with the Defy wood cleaner and pressure washing turned my gray cedar fence to a new wood fence. It looks like it was just put up like it was 3 years ago.

Moderately Recommended

I have only used the wood brightener on the first section of my deck - about 100 sq ft. as a test area. The wood brightener does in fact brighten the wood. But it is not as powerful as I thought. I even used it full strength on several boards that had resistant stains to the 4:1 formulation. It did not seem to remove them even then.

So I can only give this a 3-star. Sorry Defy. It should do better.

Good Product

Product seemed to work well. Did not do a comparison of using the product or not, but I did staining on Ipe wood and it seemed to soak up the stain.

Works Well
From Norris Davis of Harmony, Maine on 11/12/2014.

This is oxalic acid, which has been the standard wood brightener for 100 years. It works well, but one always wishes it would do a little more. Mildly obnoxious fumes.

Love It!!

We used this along with the deck cleaner..WOW..such clean and bright wood ready for stain.

Unsure of how I would measure effectiveness
From Terry Mullin of Watkinsville, Georgia on 10/9/2013.

I used this product mainly to neutralize the effects of using the Stripper product. I hope it achieves the result it claims because I don't know how I would measure how well it neutralized the stripper chemical.

Highly recommended

After using the Stain Stripper, I used the Wood Brightener. It brought back the true color of my mahogany deck. I'm very pleased with both products. I'm looking forward to using the water based Hardwood Stain.

Defy is the best!

Finally, a product that actually does what it claims. We just used the 3 step system on our cedar sided home and it looks brand new! It's so easy to use and lives up to advertisement. Now looking at the concrete products to try!
