Ratings & Reviews for Valspar 128.0 -fl oz Deck Cleaner

Easy To Use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the next step in my deck stripping process. After using Valspar's Wood Stripper, I will be using Valspar's All-In-One Wood Prep. The Wood Prep will clean, brighten, and remove any stains before the re-painting begins. By doing this, the new stain will adhere better. The great thing about this product is that you just rinse with a garden hose. No fuss, No muss.

Awesome

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Valspar all in one wood prep works great and is easy to use. The scent is not as strong as I would have expected which is great. I loved how well this worked.

Definitely good to use prior to painting

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This works great when paired with the valspar paint stripper. It was very easy to use and worked great. I tried some samples with and without the prep and the prep is definitely needed especially on outdoor projects that will be exposed to the elements.

Stay tuned

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s tough to say because with the weather this fall, we haven’t had many days to do this based on WI weather. I LOVE the reliability of Valspar products though and I can’t wait to use these once it gets warm again! This gallon is MORE than enough to complete our deck off of our kitchen. Can’t wait to see the results!

Made a big difference !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product made my outside porch project so much easier. I applied the wood prep on my porch exactly as the directions described. It made the process of putting the stain on my porch so much better. There was very little odor. I will recommend this product to anyone who has a similar project that needs to be completed.

You can see it working very quickly after application

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I selected a test area of a single plank on my stairs to test out these Valspar products. First, I used Valspar stripper, and then after full removal of the previous paint, I applied this Valspar All-in-one wood prep. It is very easy to apply, I elected to use application by brush since this was a smaller test area. It's thin but does suds up a bit like soapy water as I brushed it on. I could see it start to work almost immediately as the w...

Great product for your projects

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We haven’t used them yet we are waiting to start a project but we have used this kind of stuff in the past and it’s been great! Works really well to get the wood off and help you prepare to stain or paint. The odor is a little strong but not overwhelming. I would recommend to always wear gloves and a mask.

Versatile and Safw

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wood stain easy to use. It states all the safety measures to take while using this product. It has little scent and effective at protecting wood. Used it to stain some old rocking chairs. The versatility allows you to use it on many types of wood.

Excellent All-in-One Solution for Wood Prep!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently used Valspar All-in-One Wood Prep for my deck restoration, and I’m beyond impressed! This product made the prep process so easy and effective. It effortlessly cleaned the wood, removed mildew, and even brightened the surface all in one step. The instructions were clear, and the application was straightforward—no need for multiple products or complicated steps. After using it, the wood looked refreshed and ready for staining. I also ...

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This wood prep did not disappoint without any hassle I like taking on some new diy projects and this project was simple effective and safe to use with just following the directions and I was done preparing my back deck in a few hours. It can also be used on different types of projects which means endless possibilities and wearing a mask reduce risk of smelling the odor.

Works well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Valspar Stripper and All in One Wood Prep made refinishing our fence a breeze! They were easy to use and worked well! We had put off fixing and refinishing our fence for a while because we thought it was going to be too much work, but I can honestly say, with these products, it wasn't bad at all! There's really no odor either!

Effective

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Effective in getting the dock clean before applying the stain. Used with the recommended deck brush which help with stubborn area. The smell is not that bad so it is safe to use.

Cleans and removes major wood stains

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfectly timed when I am getting my backyard deck ready for a makeover. This is ready to use without any mixing required making it very convenient to start your wood project. It took a couple of tries to make sure that I am treating the wood correctly as my deck is littered with rust and other imperfections. After 15 minutes and with some muscle for scrubbing, my deck wood became brighter and less stained. Highly recommended!
