Step 1: Clean the surfaces.
Begin by carefully washing your cabinets. To accomplish this, you have to gently remove the cabinets from the walls, clean them, and let the wood thoroughly dry.
Step 2: Protect yourself and the kitchen.
Use drop cloths to cover the countertop and floors. When using a wood cleaner, wear gloves and eye protection.
Step 3: Soak the hardware.
Because the hardware probably needs cleaning, soak it in a big bowl filled with soapy water for 30 minutes. Before washing, carefully clean them with a gentle brush. Allow the hardware to dry. After that, polish the pieces and let them dry again.
Step 4: Strip and refinish your cabinets.
Now it's time to strip your cabinets, which may be a difficult task. First and, ensure that your workstation is well-ventilated, ideally outside.
To find out which stripping agent is appropriate for your cabinets, figure out what type of finish is on the wood.
Determine the best course of action for your cabinets, then use the appropriate stripping chemical to remove the finish. Start with a small corner to ensure that everything works.
Step 5: Sand, prime, and paint the wood.
After you've finished with the stripping agent, fill up any holes or scratches in the wood using wood filler. The remainder of the cabinets should be sanded as well, which is why, as previously stated, it's better to accomplish this work outside. Finally, apply a fresh layer of paint to the cabinets, keeping in mind that cold or hot conditions may cause the wood to expand. If you see that the weather has revealed unfinished wood, apply another coat.
