I use the bleach with water alone. Sometimes put in TSP (TriSodiumPhosphate). Depends on what you are trying to do. I had to strip my wood to remove some mildew that got under the Tung Teak oil. With Watco Teak oil as a protectant, the bleach solution cleaned up the wood easily without stripping. Bleaching bare wood will definitely lighten it. On varnished wood you will be getting the same results as the Tung oil. Cleaning of the surface....not the wood itself.
