How to Strip Paint From Kitchen Cabinets

"How to strip paint from cabinets. There is no paint on this cabinet, but I'm going to pretend there is, and go briefly through a very simple process, although it's time consuming. First you have your stripper, which can be bought at the local hardware store. I prefer using an orange-based, orange-smelling, environmentally-friendly, water soluble product. You would apply the product to the area that you want to strip. Just follow the directions is the simplest thing to do. It's usually a better idea to use a glove at all times, these are products. I use a brush and then I smooth it out, and you allow it to sit until it starts to bubble up, and you can tell that it's removing the paint. I use a scraper and literally scrape the paint off, and this I continue to do until all the paint is gone, and then it needs to be washed off with water. You can use steel wool, a scrubby sponge, and get out all the areas that need to be removed."
