The finish of wooden furniture helps determine the character of the piece.

You can change the look of your wooden furniture by changing the finish. The first step in doing this is the cleaning and sanding the old finish so that a new coat of paint can adhere to the furniture.

You can use the same methods when you are finishing or painting other wood surfaces, such as wood trim.

Step 1
Mix a solution of water and mild household detergent in a bucket. Use a ratio of 1 cup of cleaner to 1 gallon of water (3.78 liters).

Dampen a rag in the bucket and squeeze out the excess water. Go over the wood to remove any dirt and then wipe the wood with a cloth dampened with clean water. Allow the wood to dry.

Step 2
Wrap a piece of 100-grit sandpaper around a sanding block. Sand the wood with smooth, even strokes. Stop every so often to clean the sanding dust with a damp cloth.

Step 3
Clean the wood with an antistatic cloth. Wrap a piece of 120-grit sandpaper around a sanding block.

Sand the wood with smooth, even strokes. Stop every so often to wipe off the dust with a damp cloth. Finish when the wood has been sanded evenly. https://zackhardwoodflooring.com/hardwood-floorings/carolina-wood-flooring/
