Great for masonry
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had some hard to get off plaster that was painted over on my fireplace wall in the basement. I'm happy with this after wash because I was prepping to drylok. I highly recommend this product to my friends and family.

works amazingly well!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] we used it to refurbish an old dresser and make it look shabby chic and distressed....see the photos. It turned out amazing and beautiful and it was super easy. It's important to follow the instructions on the can. Great for upcycle projects

Great product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Klean Strip after wash is a great product. I have recently been doing some projects that I have been painting. This product cleans the mess right up. I also love that you can easily wipe up any mess and you are not on the struggle bus. This product is a must have. I would highly recommend it!

Use cation when applying and always use protective eye wear. This produce fumes caused eye irritation.
The product works very well. It is fast acting and clean-up can be messy. Wear gloves as it can burn skin. Excellent results.

After using Citristrip QCSG801 Paint & Varnish Stripping Gel there was a great deal of residue. (Hint: Despite what the directions say, do not let this stand for 24 hours. This After Wash product allowed me to remove all the the residue fairly easily. It does not give off toxic fumes although I used it in a well ventilated area.
Nice product, saved my project. (See before during and after pictures)

Klean strip after washed burned thru gloves & gave me a chemical burn
Warning: Klean Strip After Wash
YesterdayI worked on stripping paint from cabinets in our kitchen. We used Klean Strip Paint stripper without issue for 4 hours. Afterward I used some Klean Strip After wash to clean up. I had gloves on the entire time. I used the after wash for approximately 5 minutes before quitting for a break. After finishing I took my gloves off & noticed my finger tips were all pruney, but assumed it was from the moisture of working for so long. By 3 hours later my hand was tightening so bad I felt like my skin was going to begin splitting.
I called poison control & was told to take a 10 minute shower & use lotion on my hand - by 7 I was so freaked out I went to urgent care. UC has never heard of this so they were little to no help. Just told me to put burn gel on & lotion. By 9 pm my hand felt like it was literally on fire & all I could do was coat it in Neosporin & wait for it to stop. After talking with poison control they said the acetone & other chemicals caused severe drying & removed the fat deposits from my hand - somehow it went thru my glove & caused it. Today it looks the same but the burning sensation is gone. Just a warning Incase you plan to use this product to be weary of how you use it!

I used the Klean-Strip wash. It did a great job to neutralize the stripper and as a prep for the primer. The wash is a liquid so cover everything as it splashes.
I used the Klean- Strip Premium paint remover to strip a 1922 entry door with many coats of latex and oil paimt. The original finish was varnish. While the original formula woeked a whole lot better, this formula did a decent job. I could not take the door off its hinges ; the semi-paste held fast. I could have used a heat gun but the few original coats seemed to be bonded to the wood but I was afraid I would char the wood.
