Скачать или смотреть Thrifted Furniture Is Nasty: How I Clean Before Paint or Stain

Most thrifted furniture looks fine on the surface, but it is usually coated in old polish, wax, grease, and dust. If you paint or stain over that layer, your new finish struggles to bond no matter how careful you are.

This is the cleaning routine I use on every flip so primer sticks better, stain absorbs evenly, and the final finish stays put. It works indoors or outdoors, cuts through buildup instead of smearing it around, and does not drip all over your piece.

What I keep on hand:
• Aerosol cleaner that actually cuts wax and grease
• Nitrile gloves and shop towels
• Microfiber cloths and magic erasers
• Nylon detail brushes for corners and hardware zones
• Cleaning wipes and a drill brush kit for heavy buildup
• Spray bottle and a small bucket
