A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR DIY TOOLBOX
This exclusive cleaning solution is the first step to refinishing a piece of furniture or décor. Clean Slate removes wax, grease and oily residue from furniture and cabinets. With just one application you can properly prepare your surface before applying a new finish.
If your kitchen cabinets need food cleaned off them prior to painting, this will not do it. Clean them with soap and water first then use this. It definitely has a solvent/mineral spirits smell so if you're sensitive then get extra ventilation. My cabinets turned out well using it after I cleaned them with something else and opened a window.

We got this kitchen island from some friends who were moving back to the East Coast. The pale wood and modern hardware didn't go with our 18th-century style furniture. So, I sanded it down and used Clean Slate to paint it. I rarely have time for home projects, so instead of hand-painting the panels, I used a Photoshopped image and decoupaged the doors.

The paint is great! Goes on easily and covers well. Also has very little odor……the Clean Slate on the other hand….make sure your windows are open!
