- Learn how to remove paint from wood with Vinegar, heat gun, Citristrip and Easy-Off oven cleaner. I tried each method to see which one works best. You will be shocked! Stripping paint off wood doesn't have to be hard. Let me show you how I stripped white latex paint off the top of a cabinet with Citristrip, a heat gun, white distilled vinegar and Easy-off oven cleaner.

Thanks for stopping by!
Just a heads up for the author and anyone reading: Don't spray or mix chemical formulations on or near each other if you don't know how they will react. You only need to be unlucky once.
The heat gun has to be held in the same area until the paint bubbles. If you go back and forth and don’t focus the gun in one area the heat doesn’t get hot enough to bubble the paint to scrap off.
Put a layer of wax paper over your stripper. The stripper won't dry out and when you pull the wax paper off, it pulls up everything.
Thank you for this video! I’m going to try laying a towel down and then pouring vinegar on top to hold it in for 30 mins.
Right of the bat I can say she using the wrong Easy Off. Yes, it DOES matter. I love Easy Off best.
use some soap in your water to clean up the Oven Cleaner...and use a steel wool to scrub it with. It will come right up.
Yikes! I am always up for new tips and shortcuts, but I am concerned that you conducted this test indoors, with no effort to ventilate, and you aren't using proper mask or goggles or even long sleeves. Anything in aerosol form shouldn't be inhaled. Nor should toxic fumes raised by the heat gun when heating paint to the point of bubbling. And you should protect your eyes and skin from all of the items being used! You are worth more than your workspace!!
Vinegar needs to be covered with plastic wrap.
I just used easy-off to strip several layers of paint from my coffee table. It took some serious elbow grease but I’m impressed! Thank you for the info.
SmartStrip works phenomenally, and is non-toxic. What works best w/any process, is time. W/SmartStrip, I put it on, heavily, then cover it w/wax paper {at least a little better for the enviro than the cling wrap they suggest}, and leave it for a few days. Side note: I'm not just scraping off one coat of paint. I'm scraping off a century of different layers in my home's woodwork. So this stuff has to eat through, at times, up to 7 or 8 layers of paint. After a few days I scrape--using a heavy duty paint scraper--then bc I have very little upper body strength, I can only get the first few layers off. So I repeat the process, and 95% of the time, the second time takes it all off. I used the CitrusStrip for a while--never the spray, to me that's just adding to the non enviro friendly aspect--but they changed to an inferior formula {their Amazon ratings took a nose dive, too}, and found SmartStrip. Very very little smell, it's in a nice big bucket so you can get it all out, AND reuse the bucket. I'm a huge fan.
OMG thank you sharing this info! I just finished using the easy off on a table that i have n=been working on for weeks. The easy off worked beautifully!
On another video they used plastic wrap to cover the Citrus Strip product after you apply it. The plastic kept it moist and it worked better in stripping the paint or varnish
Such beautiful wood underneath!! I never would have painted it :-) but I love dark wood and wood grain.
Great video!
So helpful. I’m planning to strip a wall mounted wood entertainment cab!
Greatest stripping video i’ve been stripping all the wood in my house and the citrus strip is great but it leaves a lot a mess I do a lot of cleaning in other peoples houses and I used all the less oven cleaner I’m going to start using that this is a great video in fact the best thank you
I agree. I used both when stripping a door and frame. The oven cleaner was AWESOME. But I used the orange gel (for control-no over spray) boy was that a mess!! The gooey slime is impossible to clean up 😳 Ugh! I wish the oven cleaner had a controlled spray or a gel form…fingers crossed 🤞🏽☺️
Yeah when you use the heat gun you have to hold it in place until you see the paint blister or bubble up. Also I use a stiff metal scraper to remove the paint and it works much better than the plastic ones. Good video. By the way the paint stripper is okay on flat surfaces but troublesome in tight areas and hand carved designs. Also the oven cleaner is usable but don't get fooled about the claim of odorless. The fumes can still give you a coughing fit if you use it. Be careful.
👍Good job!
