How to Degrease Kitchen Cabinets for Perfect Painting
If you’re preparing to give your kitchen a spruce up, simply sanding and repainting is often not enough to create the brand spanking new finish you’re after. In busy kitchens, cabinets have a habit of becoming rather greasy, with lots of food stuffs and activities adding to the mess. This means that before you’re ready to repaint, a thorough degreasing is required to ensure your revamped cupboards look good as new.
