Review: It works! - Brilliant! I originally bought this product due to the low price. I thought if it didn't work, at least I hadn't spent a lot of money. I purchased it in 2023, put it in the cupboard, and completely forgot about it until two nights ago. I am redecorating my hallway, stairs, and landing, and needed to remove 6 layers of gloss wood paint from my bannister (handrail). Armed with a paintbrush, gloves, and clingfilm, I went to work. It was easy to apply and did not drip. I wrapped as I moved down the stairs, applying the stripper generously. It has a smell, but it's not unpleasant or overpowering. Be careful not to get it on your skin. I absent-mindedly touched my face with my gloves, and the skin started to sting immediately. A quick wipe using cold water and everything was fine, no burn or marks. I left my bannister wrapped up with product for 24 hours, and the results were fantastic! Removal was as quick and easy as applying it. The stripper removed all layers of paint, and in places, some of the varnish on the wood. If you enjoy peeling things, you will love this part of the process. It was VERY satisfying! I am planning to do one covering, leaving for a few hours only, to remove the varnish, before I repaint it. I've attached some before-and-after photos. I highly recommend this product.
Review: Exceeded my expectations - Worked much better than I expected. Applied on bannister and covered in cling film to remove varnish .Left for 45 mins and then reapplied . Washes off with soapy water and then sand down.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this release harmful fumes when applied to lead paint? Ideally I'd like to leave it on overnight but I also have young children**
A: Home Strip P & V Remover is totally Ph neutral and solvent free, however there can be VOC's given off from the paint you are removing. This will depend on the type of paint you are removing. If you do experience any fumes then please ventilate the room you are working in. I would recommend applying then covering with plastic film and leave overnight for multi-layered paint removal.

Home Strip P&V remover is deigned to remove lead-based paints safely and effectively but encapsulating the paint preventing a dust being created when removing.

**Q: Can you use this to remove whote gloss on pvc windows**
A: Hi as long as the pvc windows are white it will remove all types of paint from it without damaging the surface. 

Hope this helps🤙

**Q: Hi, can it take iff paint from bathroom vinyl floor?**
A: Hi if it’s old original vinyl flooring then yes but we always say to try a small inconspicuous corner just to make sure

**Q: Can this be used to remove dry paint from a carpet**
A: Yes it can be used for this application and has been used many times by customers to remove all kinds of stains from carpets. 

Recommend trying a small test area in a conspicuous area to check the colour is not affected but this is rare. Clean and then use soapy water afterwards.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely works!
*by C***G on 13 November 2024*

I used this to remove multiple layers of paint and varnish from the handrail in my house. It took 3 hours in total. I was worried it would not work having read the previous reviews but i honestly didn’t want to use a heat gun not knowing what paint was under the layers (our house is 100 years old). Here’s what I found - if you apply it thinly it won’t do much other than feel sticky, if you apply it very thickly it will work wonders. The areas with the thickest amount of product starting bubbling and lifting the paint underneath within 10 minutes of application. I left it for 1hour. In the areas I just ‘brushed’ the product thinly not much happened so I reapplied and it was ready for scraping soon after. The consistency is like thick wall paper paste. You do have to plop it on generously like you’re making an egg and mayo sandwich and not like your painting. It does not slip off or drip which was great. There was very little to no smell. It didn’t hurt when it touched my skin. I ordered the smallest tub for my handrail (standard wooden handrail in a house) and I used 3/4 of it. The 3 hours consisted of applying the product, scraping off the layers of paint, washing the handrail down, sanding down and clearing up. This product, when used properly works and I would definitely recommend it. It’s so easy and satisfying.
