Does vinegar remove wood stain?

• <div><p>Vinegar won’t strip the wood stain from your wood, but it can help remove a different type of stain. If you’re dealing with food stains or trying to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-water-stains-wood.htm">remove water rings on your wood</a>, you can use a little olive oil and vinegar (mixed equally) to remove those stains without stripping your actual wood stain. Just rub the solution in the direction of the wood grain, let it sit, and then wipe it away with a damp towel.</p></div>

Q: What removes dried paint from wood?

• <div><p>If you recently splashed paint on the wrong area of a wooden object, remove it with a solvent or caustic paint stripper. Some paint that has yet to dry may be removable by hand with coarse sandpaper or a plastic scraper. Another trick for removing dried-on paint is rubbing a dab of nail polish remover on the paint to remove it, but avoid touching the bare wood surface.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to remove the stain before refinishing?

• <div><p>Removing the original paint or stain before refinishing is a good idea, as it ensures the new finish bonds strongly to the wood. If you skip the stripping or sanding step, the new finish may peel or flake away from the railing easily. Using a wood stripper will completely remove the old stain or paint while sanding will help to prime the surface.</p></div>

Q: Do repairs include refinishing?

• <div><p>Yes, many services include refinishing as part of the repair process. Confirm with your contractor.</p></div>

Q: Does vinegar remove wood stain?

Q: How long does it take to refinish furniture?

• <div><p>For small, simple pieces that aren&rsquo;t antiques, a professional furniture refinisher can usually refinish a piece in <b>two to three hours</b>, while larger pieces&mdash;like bed frames and full dining sets&mdash;could take <b>several days</b>. Your refinishing professional should be able to give you an estimated timeline for the work before getting started so that you can plan to be without your furniture during the process. Antique furniture might require additional time and take a week or more to refinish, as they require special care to avoid damage.</p></div>
