Question 1

How can I avoid the need to refinish my appliances?

Accepted Answer

•

While refinishing your appliances can make them look fresh, you may prefer to keep their original coatings as long as possible. The best way to maintain your appliances’ appearance is to keep them clean. You can do this by:

Wiping up messes and spills on appliances as soon as possible.
Avoid using harsh cleaners or abrasive cleaning tools.
Handling objects with care near appliances to avoid scratching or denting them.

Question 2

Can I refinish over top of refinishing oil?

Accepted Answer

•

No. Once you apply refinishing oil, it will continue to seep into the wood, making it difficult or impossible to refinish over top of it. Since the product contains an oil that’s meant to penetrate existing finishes, almost anything you put on top of it will bring the previous layer of stain with it. If you plan to refinish your cabinets more than once, it’s a good idea to go with the traditional method of sanding before applying a new finish to the surface.

Question 3

Can you fix a burnt glass stove top?

Accepted Answer

•

It's common for glass stove tops to accumulate stains from food and liquid burns. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers and cleaning agents and stick to gentle cleansers. Combining a thin layer of dish soap with a vinegar spritz can break down charred residue without damaging the surface.

Question 5

What color appliances cost less?

Accepted Answer

•

If you want to save money on the cost of kitchen appliances, opt for basic color options like black or white. Stainless steel is usually a mid-range option; prices have come down somewhat now that it’s so widely available. Expect to spend the most for custom or bold colors, like a pink fridge or a gold-toned stove.
