How to Apply Liberon Wood Bleacher

1. Only to be used on stripped or unfinished wood. Remove any finish with Wood Stripper and then sand with extra fine sanding paper. Stripper works best with a coarse Wire Wool.

2. Apply the Liberon Wood Bleacher sparingly with a brush. Concentrate on badly affected areas if required.

3. Allow to dry. Check results and apply further coats if necessary.

4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water two to three times and allow to dry completely before refinishing.

5. If you are trying to bleach out an ink or oil stain, it is more effective to place a suitable size piece of towelling over the mark and thoroughly wet it with bleach. Leave on for as long as possible, ideally over night. After bleaching the mark, it is best then to bleach the whole area around it, so you are not left with a very light patch of wood. When the surface of the wood is dry, you will see how much effect the bleach has had.

What is Liberon Wood Bleacher?

Liberon Wood Bleacher is a specialist wood treatment designed to lighten timber and remove stubborn dark stains from bare or unfinished wood.

It is particularly useful when restoring furniture where dark marks remain after stripping the original finish. These marks can be caused by water, alcohol, rust, ink, damp, fruit and other staining.

Because it is designed specifically for use on wood, it can be an important part of the preparation process before applying a new stain, oil, wax, French polish or other finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Liberon Wood Bleacher Remove Dark Stains from Wood?

Yes. One of the main purposes of Liberon Wood Bleacher is to remove or reduce dark staining from timber. The bleaching process can help create a more even colour across the timber before the furniture is refinished. For particularly noticeable individual stains, we recommend concentrating the treatment on the affected area. However, once the stain has been treated, bleaching the surrounding area may help prevent an obvious lighter patch.

Can Liberon Wood Bleacher Remove Water Marks?

Yes, this can be used to treat dark water marks and ring marks on bare wood. This makes it particularly useful when restoring tables and other furniture where moisture has penetrated through an old finish. The existing finish needs to be removed before applying the product. Once the timber has been stripped and sanded appropriately, the Wood Bleacher can be applied to the affected area.

Can Liberon Wood Bleacher Be Used on Oak?

Liberon Wood Bleacher can be used on suitable bare and unfinished wood, including oak, to help reduce dark staining and lighten timber. Oak can develop dark marks from moisture, iron/rust contamination and other sources, particularly on older furniture. Because different woods and stains can react differently to bleaching products, always test on an inconspicuous area first before treating the whole piece.

Can Liberon Wood Bleacher Remove Ink Stains?

Liberon Wood Bleach can be used to treat ink and oil stains in bare wood. For a concentrated stain, we recommend thoroughly wetting a suitable piece of towelling with the bleach and placing it over the affected mark for as long as possible, ideally overnight. Once the stain has been treated, consider bleaching the surrounding area as well. This can help prevent the treated section from appearing noticeably lighter than the surrounding timber.

Can You Stain or Polish Wood After Using Liberon Wood Bleacher?

Yes, this Wood Bleach is intended to be used as part of the wood preparation process before refinishing. However, the wood must be thoroughly rinsed and allowed to dry completely after bleaching. This is particularly important because residue from the Wood Bleacher may affect subsequent water-based products.

What is the Difference Between Wood Bleacher and Wood Stripper?

Wood Stripper and Wood Bleacher perform completely different jobs. Liberon Wood Stripper is used to remove an existing surface finish such as paint, varnish, lacquer or other coatings. Wood Bleach is used after stripping to treat dark staining and discolouration within the timber itself.

Can Liberon Wood Bleacher remove water marks?

Yes. It can be used to treat suitable dark water and ring marks once the existing finish has been removed.

Can you use Liberon Wood Bleacher on varnished wood?

No. The existing finish should be removed first. The Wood Bleach is only to be used on stripped or unfinished wood.

Can you use this on painted furniture?

The paint should be removed first. Wood Bleacher is intended for stripped or unfinished wood.

How long should the Wood Bleacher be left on wood?

Allow the product to dry, then check the result and apply further coats if necessary. For concentrated ink or oil stains, use the overnight towelling method.

Do you have to rinse wood after use?

Yes. rinsing thoroughly with clean water two to three times and allow the timber to dry completely before refinishing.

Please Note

Always test Liberon Wood Bleacher on a spare or inconspicuous area before treating the main surface.

This allows you to check:

Colour
Compatibility
Final appearance
How the timber reacts

Some dyes, stains and types of wood may resist bleaching, and results cannot be guaranteed because Wood Bleacher relies on chemical reactions.

Water-based products may also be affected by Wood Bleacher residue, which is why thorough rinsing is particularly important.

Always wear protective gloves. Due to various types of pigmentation some dyes/stains/woods may resist bleaching. Wood Bleacher relies on chemical reactions and results cannot be guaranteed.
