Some Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Because its a reactive stain, does it eventually fade in effectiveness over time where the red comes back?

A. Because of the deep penetration of Bona Red Out, the pink/red hues that you were trying to eliminate or tone down should not come back.

Q. Is it safe?

A. Bona Red Out is a safe and effective way to lighten the appearance of your floors. Whether it's for your home or business, this remarkable product can help you achieve your desired results quickly and efficiently. Bleaching works, but is a more harsh process that can damage your hardwoods.

Q. Do I have to seal the floor after I apply the red out or will it act as a sealer?

A. Yes, you have to apply a sealer to the floor after application as Red Out is not a stain/sealer but rather a color neutralizing solution. For a flawless finish, you can even combine Bona Red Out with the complete Bona Finishing System.

Bona Red Out is a unique product offered by the Great American Floors team. This product gives our customers the lighter tones and white oak/nordic style - a big flooring trend we are seeing this year.
