All about wood bleach

Before using bleach, it is imperative to read the instructions for use, and also take into account the consumption of the substance for the surface area that needs to be treated.

1. Before using the substance, it is required to process the surface - to grind and level all the roughness. Otherwise, it will not be possible to apply the product with high quality, and subsequently you will have to redo the work.
2. At home, bleach can be applied to wood using a stain. To do this, combine a small amount of stain, bleach and hydrogen peroxide, and then let the substance stand for a while. Such a composition will not only brighten the surface of the tree, but also prevent the appearance of bacteria on it or the penetration of parasites.
3. You do not have to combine the bleach with other ingredients, but simply apply it in an even layer on the desired surface with your own hands. If you need to lighten the wood even more, then it is better to repeat the procedure and let the layer dry. Try not to overdo it, otherwise the appearance may subsequently look somewhat artificial.
4. Please note that it is necessary to store the bleach in a dark and dry place where there is no direct sunlight, otherwise the structure of the substance may be severely damaged, and this will affect the result of the work.
5. The bleach dries after being applied to the wood for several hours, but it is better to leave it on for a day so that the layer finally adheres to the surface.

Thus, the use and selection of bleach is a simple matter that even a beginner can do. However, it is worth paying special attention to the storage and transportation of the substance, and also to ensure that the canister is not damaged during purchase, as this may also affect the result.
