Select the formula you need from the options: \u003cstrong\u003eStrip \u0026amp; Clean Furniture Stripper (half gallon)\u003c\/strong\u003e removes old coatings, while \u003cstrong\u003eFinishing Cleaner (quart)\u003c\/strong\u003e removes residue and prepares the surface for its new finish. For a full stripping project, use the stripper first and the cleaner afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStrip \u0026amp; Clean Furniture Stripper — half gallon\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis soy-based, semi-gelled stripper softens old paint, varnish, polyurethane, lacquer, and other finishes on suitable furniture surfaces so they can be scraped away. Its thicker consistency helps it stay on vertical areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest a hidden area, remove hardware and loose finish, and work in a ventilated space. Wear nitrile or butyl gloves and safety glasses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShake or stir the product, then brush or roll on a generous, even layer about 1\/8 inch thick. Do not dilute.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow the coating to soften before scraping. A light coating may take about an hour; multiple or tougher layers can take several hours or overnight. Keep the product from drying out during a long dwell, and follow the container directions for your surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrape away the softened finish. Repeat on stubborn areas, then remove remaining film with GreenEZ Finishing Cleaner and a clean water wipe. Let the surface dry completely before refinishing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFinishing Cleaner — quart\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis concentrated cleaner removes the film left after stripping. It can also help remove grease and grime before painting and, at full strength with gentle scrubbing, lift light stain or thin varnish. It is a cleanup and prep product, not a substitute for the furniture stripper on heavy coatings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor normal post-strip residue, dilute equal parts cleaner and clean water. Use full strength for heavier residue or light stain removal. Test first, especially on delicate wood or veneer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply with a cloth or sponge, working with the wood grain, or spray generously. Allow about 1–3 minutes for normal residue; for light stain or varnish, use full strength and allow about 5–15 minutes, following the product label.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe or gently scrub away residue, then rinse with clean water. Repeat if a clean rag still picks up finish or color.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet the surface dry completely before applying paint, stain, or sealer. Wear gloves and eye protection while using the cleaner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping note for the Finishing Cleaner quart:\u003c\/strong\u003e This item cannot ship alone under the supplier’s restriction.
