How do you paint particle board cabinets without sanding?

• <div><p>If you prefer not to sand your particle board cabinets prior to painting, you can use mineral spirits and a rough sponge to add some grit to your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-mdf.htm">medium-density fiberboard cabinets</a> so that the paint will still stick. Keep in mind that using 120-grit sandpaper is still the preferred method for preparing your particle board cabinets for a new coat of paint.</p></div>

Q: Can I use vinegar to clean cabinets before sanding?

• <div><p>You should not clean cabinets with vinegar. While many homeowners think it is a natural cleaner, vinegar is a mild acid, not a degreaser. Since it does not cut through greasy grime, it won't effectively remove it from kitchen cabinets. For best results, use a degreasing cleaner designed for prep work, then rinse and dry thoroughly before sanding.</p></div>

• <div><p>It is cheaper to paint kitchen cabinets than to replace them.
