Today, I'm breaking down the easy DIY steps to stripping paint and stain from wood furniture. Redoing your furniture may take time and a little design inspiration. But, with these steps, it can be pretty easy.  :)
I used Citristrip Gel and Cling Wrap (or Saran Wrap) to strip the stain from this old table top. Citristrip is my favorite way to strip an old finish off of furniture, stairs, and other wood. The gel is thick, which means it sticks pretty well to the surface while it's working.
I prefer Citristrip for stripping paint and stain. It’s really thick, so stays where you put it, it’s non-caustic, can be used indoors, smells nice, and really works. I’ve only had to move to stronger, more dangerous chemicals once.
That was for stripping 80 years of thick varnish and paints off of stairs in a house I flipped once. That was only due to the endless number of paint layers I was stripping. And, I’m not even sure that the stronger stuff worked any better than Citristrip.
