Krud Kutter Gloss-Off Prepaint Surface Preparation Cleaner, 32 oz, No Sanding Liquid Deglosser for Cabinets, Trim, Doors and Furniture, Removes Dirt Grease and Gloss for Paint Adhesion

I used to prep worn stained/previously varnished wooden kitchen cabinets Easy to apply, cleaned well and very slightly etches surfaces that allowed touch up Minwax oil stain to take well and blend in with the existing finish color. Polyurethane clear applied a day later when stain dried. I have dine this work before but it was so much easier and better outcome after prep with this product. Krud-Cutter has many different products-I only found this one one line- you need this exact product. I will use again for similar jobs

It definitely worked for my intended purpose. I did wanted to clean cabinets. To de gloss wasn't my initial intention. But found it was actually necessary for most of my cabinet doors. I had windows and doors open did not notice any odor. I think drying time was not that long, from cabinet door to door it was actually already dry. I did purchase two bottles used one and a portion of the 2nd 32oz. It was a good value and I thought it was a safe product to use.

Does exactly as advertised. Wanted to paint the trim around my kitchen window. The original paint was very glossy, so I wanted to take off the shine so the new paint would adhere. It is very easy to use. Odor is tolerable but we kept the windows open. Dries in about 10 minutes and then you can paint.

Prepares oil base paint surfaces to accept waterborne products without sanding. Clean the surface first with Krud Kutter cleaner degreaser.

Have used to refinish 2 bureaus

Way better than TSP products. With TSP the wood bleeds through and turns while paint yellow, with Gloss Off it cleans the surface and really gets rid of a lot of stain left on the surface as well as the top coats so when you’re ready to paint it’s all “matte” and a great surface for paint adhesion. I wish there was more because you need the rag really saturated so if you have a big project you’ll need at least 2.5 of these or more. I used mine for wooden baseboards, window trims, and more so I used 2 total. Maybe I was using too much? But I loved this stuff.

Used on laminated kitchen cabinets did not work. Did 3 coats on 3 separate days didnt dull the paint at all. As far as cleaning? Removing oil hard to tell as I used a chisel. Maybe could've got the job done with water and soap.

Worked ok. Too much trouble to use.
