Frequently Asked Questions
Is WOCA Wood Lye a bleach?
WOCA Wood Lye is neither a bleach nor a paint. It’s a primer that prevents the wood from yellowing over time and minimizes red and pink tones.
Why should I use a lye pretreatment?
Do I need to finish the floor after using a lye pretreatment?
Wood Lye is not a finish, it’s a pretreatment. Lye treated wood is still unfinished wood, so yes, you will need to add an oil finish to protect the flooring after applying lye. Most customers topcoat/finish with either Diamond Oil Active or Master Color Oil in White or Extra White for that signature Scandinavian look.
