Rubio Monocoat Raw Wood Cleaner, 5,000 ft², Prep Cleaner, 5 L

If you use Rubio Monocoat it is worth every penny to pre clean the surface with Rubio Monocoat Raw Wood Cleaner. I have tried it both ways and have the best results after using the cleaner. It is easy to use and goes a long way. Rubio has some great videos on the best way to use it and I strongly recommend watching them. The dry time is related to your temp and humidity but I note that it is usually fully dry after 20-30 min. Great product and would not go back.

Amazing product and so easy to use. We did a Sequoia Redwood table and the finish was absolutely gorgeous

Went on super easy and smooth. It is very effective and takes just a small amount to make your project look fantastic and well protected. No offensive odor. It seems expensive, your time and effort are worth something. It takes just a few minutes to finish an entire table. There are no brush strokes, bubbles or lap lines. Glass smooth in just a few minutes. Honestly the easiest most cost effective wood finishing product I've used. I've used dozens over the years making furniture and whatever else I am told to do.

Awesome product that I used when I restored my dining room table.

This works very well for cleaning wood prior to staining and is essential for using the Rubio Monochrome stain products. The only problem I see is that it's very expensive. I found substituting acetone works just as well, and once dry leaves the wood in perfect shape for staining. Make sure you use the Acetone or the Rubio cleaner in a well-ventilated area.

Works great

We used this on a new kitchen countertop made from a solid 2" plank of white oak and didn't want a solid, glossy finish, we didn't want a toxic finish, and we did not want to treat it constantly with mineral oil. It goes on exceptionally easy and cures quickly with little smell. All of our woodworker friends love this stuff.

This is the first project I have used the cleaner on it made a big difference
