What is 2-part wood bleach?

Two-part wood bleach is a bleaching system consisting of two separate components that are typically mixed together before application. These components often include a wood bleach activator (usually sodium hydroxide) and a wood bleach solution (usually hydrogen peroxide). When combined, these parts create a powerful chemical reaction that effectively lightens or removes stains from wood surfaces, providing a uniform and refreshed appearance.
