Understanding Wood Toning, Bleaching and Stain Removal

A wood toner, such as Oxalic Acid, removes dark stains and brings darkened wood's patina due to age, weathering or pH back to its natural color, or close to it. However, it will not bleach the wood color away or remove stain colorants

To remove aniline dye stains from the wood surface (or grain), HOODBLEACHT-192 (Stain-Away) is the product recommended for the job. This product will not tone, brighten or bleach the wood, or remove pigment type stains. 

Finally, to change yellow pine to white pine, red oak to white oak, etc., a two part bleaching system is needed. Part A is applied first followed by Part B. Part A opens up the grain upon penetration, while part B reacts chemically with part A and bleaching occurs through oxidation. We no longer offer this type of bleach.
