Products from Green Products

Green Products Company was started in 1944 by Robert and Eve Hartford in Berkeley, Ca. At that time the owners sold under contract drums of paint removers to the U.S. Navy for paint removal on their ships.  After World War II the owners developed a thin liquid paint remover for the removal of lacquer and varnish from antique furniture. The company became famous and well known in the antique furniture market for producing a quality product.  The Green’s name and logo came about because the company was located next to a railroad line and Mr. Hartford decided that a railroad signal with a green light represents a safe name and logo for his company. The green lighted railroad signal indicates the railroad crossing is clear ahead for the train engineer to proceed. Since then the motto has been “Go with Green’s, the best paint removers”.
