Refinish Furniture

Clean the furniture first using denatured alcohol,
mineral spirits or trisodium phosphate depending on
what kind of wood it is. Ask a hardware salesperson to
help you decide what to use. Then in a well-ventilated
area use a stripper, remove the residue, sand and clean
with denatured alcohol. Apply a clear finish or use
a stain for a different finish.
