Do you have to use chemicals? I've had to strip a great deal of varnish recently and I've found the best - cleanest, non-staining, no need to rinse off, no sticky mess, easy sweep up, etc. - way was using a heat (hot air) gun and a good tungnsten edged scraper. OK, you need power but the varnish comes away so easily and you're ready to rub down straight away.
