Based on my experience, I would say it very likely would work. For the piece I used it for, it took multiple coats of this to remove everything, as someone had added many coats of stain & varnish. It took a little patience on my part, but I could not be happier with its effectiveness. It is so wonderfully non-toxic, yet still very effective.

Yes, I think so. I used in an old buffet table and work well but took several times to really strip it to the bare wood

It should work just fine. Make sure to keep the product moist on the wood. I use an inexpensive paint brush to apply and in a few minutes, when it looks like it is drying, I give it another brushing and then in a few minutes scrap a spot to test if it is ready to remove. I put some stripper in a separate container (plastic coffee can) so as not to contaminate the original container. This will extend the shelf life of the original container and it will last for years for future projects.

It works well on unfinished wood. If your furniture is stained and varnished I don't think I'd use it.

I would strip your cabinets first. If they are already painted they probably have at least 3 coats already. Using this product will add another 4 coats at least

I'm not sure of your question. It will work on any type of sidewalls, this is held by pressure so if your drawers have plastic sides this will work well.

Yes, this would work good for that! I used it in my kitchen cabinets (bottom, drawers and cabinets for pots, pans and such). It is clear enough the color of the wood still shows through lightly, and it easily wipes clean. I really like it!

Hello, I use this product to clean antique furniture to remove old dust, any ugly patina, and it really leaves the piece clean, in plain wood, beautiful. However, because I use it to remove hard stuff, I use a very thin wire sponge with it. Of course it would remove fingerprints and grease. I use a clean paper towel to remove the excess oil. I like the product so much. Hope this helps.

Yes! That's the beauty of it. Mine were white-wash stained cabinets initially. I used "000" steel wool pads to scuff the surface in the direction of the grain to remove any gloss and to clean them up (don't kill yourself sanding...the steel wool works great and gets into the crevices). The gel stain is like a paint...it stays on top of the surface...does not really sink into the wood anyway, so as long as you scuff it up slightly it will work fine. Go for it!

Yes absolutely! Home Strip Paint and Varnish Remover is the ideal product to refinish furniture. Not only is it safe and easy to use Home Strip is very effective to remove Oil Based Paints with proper set times.

I used this product to remove years of grime from antique negatives and a few prints.It did remove some adhesive from a black and white print. Could you try it in aninconspicuous area first? You could also ask at a professional photographic store--nota big box photo department--that does specialty processing.

I would think it would work for that. I have been successfully using it to sand cabinets and remove old lacquer and stain from them.

We have used this product on soft wood and then covered with varnish or a wood sealer and it has worked fine. We have not used it and then put a stain over it. I suggest you take a scrap piece of wood and apply the wood hardener and then the stain. My concern would be the stain does not cover evenly or uniformly over the wood and the hardener

You could stain it with minwax gel stain. It took regular minwax stain, but not as well as the wood around it. Gel stain stays on the surface, made the repair all but disappear. Used bondo on the corner of a pine dresser drawer that had broken off. Years later still looks great.

I am sorry I can't help you. I used it to remove varnish from a small ornamental box. It worked very well and quickly.

I have used it, but after using a tarnish liquid cleaner first. Try it. If it doesn't do the job you can be sure it won't do any harm and it may well work for you.

Sure this can be used for sorting dirty clothes. You can maybe use it to coordinate lights, darks etc. Thank you

Any cleaning chore u my have. Just sprayalittlewater on item that needs cleaned & wipe off with your norwex cloth. Counter tops,stove, fridge,tub, sink - results in a beautiful shine! The cloth itself is a dirt magnet . Cloth can b used wet r dry. I have different colors for cleaning different rooms .

If the finish is partial stripped I think you need more than a cleaner. I refinish a lot of furniture. I would recommend using Fornbys Furniture refinisher. This product removes finish without bleaching or removing the the natural color of the wood. I have used this when partial area of surfaces have been damaged and I do not need to strip the entire surface. It does not raise the grain so sanding is seldom required. Find a matching stain and blend in, then a protective sealer finisher of your choice......tung oil or polyurethane. It is easy to tape off the damaged area and repair. Howard Clean -A -Finish is a great cleaner for dirt, nicotine, and grease but I do not know if it would adequately remove mold. They also sell a finish restorer but without seeing the damage incurred I am unable to determine if this would work for you. Good luck.
