CitriStrip paint stripper is very easy to apply. It has a nice clean smell of Citrus Orange so that you do not have to worry about bad smells in the home. No need to leave windows open unlike other paint strippers.

The main difference is that CitriStrip uses acids from citrus fruits like oranges instead of harsher chemicals and so it is safer for the environment and for the user. It can be more expensive. It smells nicer also!

Basically it is an eco-friendly citrus based stripping solution. I have used it before and it does a pretty good job. It remove stubborn paint but without the fumes. Another benefit is that it is pretty thick so it has good "cling" when stripping vertical surfaces.

Typical paint strippers are a distilled petroleum or alcohol byproduct that is extremely toxic and polluting. CitriStrip is based off of citrus oils. This makes the product non-toxic to the environment when properly diluted or neutralized. Citristrip does not put off toxic or flammable vapors into the air like traditional paint strippers can.

there are a few good things about it. First off it is citrus based so it is eco-friendly and has much less odor than other strippers. It also is pretty thick which is good for stripping vertical surfaces.
