Odor and effectiveness 10/10

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the brand because of the safety warnings they provide as well as the actually prep which is in its name. Coverage was great and the odor too

Did not work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After I completed the wood stripping I sprayed the all-in-one wood prep on the wood. It did nothing at all to the wood. I am very disappointed in this product.

Great product to clean wood and cut through oil stains

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cleaner removed oils. There was enough product to do the entire bed and dresser. I would purchase this for future projects. Low odor, easy pour.

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed this to take the stain off of my hammock stand and garden bed. The current stain was peeling and looked terrible. I’m so glad I found this product so I could start from scratch. The odor wasn’t strong, but I was working outside where it was well ventilated.

One-in-all perfect start to a project

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to Valspar and Influenster for the chance to test this product in exchange for my honest review. I really liked this product and felt like it was perfect for helping me get started on my project to get old wooden steps back to looking alive again. The all in one was helpful to clean the steps, and I only had to scrub a couple of spots that had more staining on them. Only one application was needed, although I did do 30 minutes instead o...

Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very effective and versatile. There isn't a strong odor, so that's great too. Easy application and very safe if you follow the directions. I would recommend this!

Wonderful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is amazing it worked wonders on a dinning room table and chair that I redid. It made striping all the old junk of so much faster the. Other prep brands. The only thing is I can show pics because my phone deleted them

Not really working

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not really good product for tripping paint of my planter. These are photos before, during and after using the product. Not really effective, just a small amount of paint came off after enormous amount of water was use.

Great all in one product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Valspar products have never let me down. This all in one wood prep was great for a project to use before painting and re-staining our kitchen island. The odor is what you would expect from a product like this but not too bad if you use a fan to keep your space ventilated. It goes on easy and is full coverage without having to use multiple coats.

Worth the cost!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great effectiveness and what I love most is its limited odor! Valspar is a great line that comes from Sherwin Williams so I knew we wouldn’t be disappointed but I was actually impressed with how quickly it made prep!

Much better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The prep is much better than the stripper. The instructions were easy to follow and whenever we get the deck stripped of the original paint we will use this all over to prep for new paint.

Quick and Effective

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband used this product on one of his rental units as he does a lot of maintenance and updating himself. Wasn’t able to grab a before picture but he said this worked fantastic!! Quick, easy, effective. Not messy and got the job done right. Exactly what he needed! He also said the amount of product you get is adequate, as well!

Complete wood stripper

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free from Influenster. This product quickly and fully remove the prior paint on my wood deck. It was easy to use and properly covered the full amount I needed treated. 

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this product to prep our rather old deck to be re-sealed and stained. It was easy to use and covered the deck well. The smell was no worse than any paint or stain smell.

Works

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works as it should very effect! Application was very simple and did with ease! Scent is a different story though it’s not horrible but not a bouquet of roses lol

Fence cleaner

The product workers advertise, got my wood, good and clean. I would recommend people to buy it. It’s a good product.

New floor board prepped and ready for makeover

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This all in one wood prep is my all I needed first step product before I start my project staining the back patio. It is so effective and so easy to use and the scent is not so chemical like the one I used previously for my front patio. Such a versatile product with the greatest price that is great for home indoor or outdoor projects.

Good Coverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product was easy to apply and did not have an overpowering smell. It seems to work well but may take some time to tell as I live in the Midwest. The product size offers a good amount of coverage.
