Ideal for whitening wood while keeping the grain visible, it is perfect for a table, bookcase, sideboard, chest of drawers, wall paneling, and any other indoor wooden furniture.

Thanks to its white ceruse effect, CBL800 lightens wood and modernizes furniture without hiding its texture. This white wax for indoor wood protects effectively against water, grease stains, and everyday marks, while keeping a soft touch and an elegant satin finish.

If you want to adjust the final shade (more or less white) or prepare your surface, the wood can be pre-stained using the wood stain of your choice.

How to choose a white wax for wood?

Choosing a white wax for wood depends on the effect you want (a subtle white tone or a more pronounced ceruse look), the wood species, and the condition of the surface. CBL800 White Wood Wax is ideal for giving furniture a brighter, more modern style while keeping a natural finish.

Unlike paint, wax does not hide the wood texture: it highlights the grain and creates an authentic decorative effect. It is especially recommended for solid wood furniture, antique furniture, indoor woodwork, and decorative renovation projects (whitewashed wood effect, ceruse effect).

CBL800 White Wood Wax is perfectly suited for woods such as oak, beech, pine, or walnut. On very dark woods, the effect will be more contrasted and decorative. On light woods, the look will be softer and more even. Its satin white finish protects the wood while lightening it.

For heavily used surfaces (high-use tables, countertops, floors), a varnish or oil may be more suitable. However, for a natural whitewashed wood effect and reversible maintenance, white wax remains the ideal solution.

How to use White Wood Wax

Preparing the wood

• The surface must be clean, dry, and dust-free. If necessary, lightly sand with a fine-grit abrasive to obtain a smooth finish. To optimize the white (ceruse) effect, work on well-opened wood (fine sanding) and remove dust carefully before application. The wood can be pre-stained using a wood stain depending on the desired result.

Applying CBL800 White Wood Wax

• Ready-to-use product. Shake well before use. Do not apply at temperatures below +12°C or above +35°C.

• Apply a thin coat following the direction of the wood grain using a brush or cloth.

• For a more pronounced ceruse effect, wipe off excess slightly so the white wax settles into the grain (decorative effect).

• Allow to dry for at least 1 hour.

• Depending on the intensity of white desired, apply a second coat after drying. Light sanding between coats improves the final feel.
  
  

Maintaining whitewashed waxed wood furniture

• To maintain whitewashed waxed wood furniture, use a slightly damp sponge and SN800 Black Soap . A new coat of white wax can be applied as soon as the surface loses its satin look or protection.

PRO TIPS

• Always test first on a small, hidden area to validate the white intensity and the final finish (ceruse effect).
  
  

Frequently asked questions about white wood wax

Which white wax should I choose for wooden furniture?

For indoor wooden furniture, it is recommended to use a white wax for wood that lightens the surface while keeping the grain visible. CBL800 White Wood Wax is ideal for achieving a natural whitewashed / cerused wood effect and protecting wood over time.

Can white wax be applied to furniture that is already waxed?

Yes, CBL800 White Wood Wax can be applied to furniture that is already waxed to refresh it. Prior cleaning is recommended, and light sanding if needed, to optimize adhesion.

Can white wax be applied to varnished furniture?

White wax does not adhere properly to varnished furniture. Sanding back to bare wood is necessary to achieve an even, long-lasting finish.

What is the difference between white wax and white paint on wood?

Paint hides the wood grain and creates an opaque film. White wax for wood preserves the wood texture and deposits a more natural decorative white (ceruse effect), while nourishing and protecting the surface.

How can I enhance the ceruse effect (white grain)?

For a stronger ceruse effect, prepare the wood properly (fine sanding), apply a thin coat, then wipe off excess slightly so the white wax settles into the grain. A second coat can increase the white intensity.
