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

Really pleased with this Rustins product. I had a 1930 fire surround in stained oak and after stripping the laquer using Nitromors, I used two to three applications of the Rustins Wood Bleach and followed the instructions. The results were impressive! I really recommend this especially for intricate pieces. Also worth noting for the many reviews on Amazon that report leaking bottles, the packaging says "vented cap, keep upright " so it's not really a product that should be sent via courier. Mine was OK.

Easy application and works in a few hours. I've been using it to even out the colour of my stairs after years of sun bleaching. It's taken a few goes to get all my wood an even colour, but It doesn't take much product to get it working and I still have plently left :)

While after 2 cycles it did lighten the wood overall it was a bit patchy and did not remove anything like all the wood stain. To be fair it did a better job than anything else I have tried and may do better on other projects. Disappointed that the bleach lid was not screwed on tight so had some unexpected leakage

I’m extremely disappointed with this product. It arrived leaking, even though the original box was sealed — the paper packaging was visibly wet. I disposed of the first one as advised and requested a replacement. Unfortunately, the replacement arrived leaking again. Before disposing of the second one, I decided to test it — and it simply doesn’t work. I ordered this through Amazon because I had run out of the same type of product from another company that I usually purchase from. The difference is like day and night. With the product from the other company, I can see it working instantly upon application. This one, however, doesn’t do even half of what it’s supposed to do. Between the leakage issues and the lack of effectiveness, this has been a very frustrating experience. I would not recommend it.

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.

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.

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