The product appears to be inconsistent in its effectiveness at removing old deck stains and paints. While a few customers reported positive experiences, the majority found the product ineffective, describing it as a waste of time and money. Many had to use additional tools like wire brushes and pressure washers to achieve the desired results. Overall, the product seems unreliable, with most customers expressing disappointment in its lack of effectiveness.

Love the finished product 👍🏻

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was provided by Influenster & Valspar in exchange for my honest review of the product. The Valspar brand is one I love & trust, we have used their wood care products for years on our decking & other garden areas that have a lot of woodwork involved. The quality of the products is always top notch & gets the job done very quickly & efficiently. I would definitely recommend this brand for any & all wood care projects.

Easy application = less work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this wood stripper on our back deck. These stair previous owners painted the deck olive green and the paint was chipping up. We applied the solution and then pressure washed the whole deck. Applying this stripper made this job much easier. Thankfully the deck was never prepped to begin with so the paint flaked right off when pressure washing thanks to the combination of this solution.

Makes deck prep easy!

Easy to use and works well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just recently used this wood stripper on my outdoor fence in my backyard. After a few years, the staining on the fence needed to be stripped away and redone. This product removed the old staining without damaging the wood. It was easy to use and apply. It does have a strong odor in my opinion so if you are going to use it be sure to wear personal protective gear, especially in closed or not well ventilated spaces.

Makes work easy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Valspar is known for quality and this didn't disappoint. Had surgery so had to take it easy for a while, so took some time to be able to try it out. Ended up stripping a 1950's table and chalk painting it. Used the products I received and made it easy peasy.

Doesn’t do much

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used in combination with the Vasper All-in-One prep and followed the directions and left it on for 15 min and then scrubbed and it didn’t do much. Went in for a second round and was able to scrub more off after but I wouldn’t recommend. There are other products that are more effective for half the amount of effort.

Wood stripper

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately, I may have misused this product as results did not come out up to par. Mine was patchy and it was hard to get the wood to strip off old paint but it may have been the tools that I was using or operator error.

Easy to use, simple directions

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This wood stripper s so easy to use and directions are easy to follow. I only had to apply it once and left ok for 15 minutes, per directions, but you may have to apply more than once. You can see the stain coming off easily when I sprayed with water. Better than having to sand it because this gets in all the crevices and hard to reach spots

Great product for a range of projects.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this product. Very handy. Little odor. The coverage is pretty good. Probably would need more than one jug for a decent size porch. I would purchase again. Versatile for a range of projects. It’s safe yet very effective. Short application time.
