This dresser has been in our garage
( open to the elements)
for the past three years.
So you can just imagine how
dirty and nasty it was.
First step, vacuum every nook
and cranny.
Second step, wash with mild soap and water.
I had to even use the garden hose on this one.
Yes!!!!! It was that bad!
CAUTION THIS COULD RUIN YOUR PIECE.
( I was very lucky the water did not ruin this dresser.
I cleaned each piece, one piece at a time. I was very
careful not to saturate the pieces or leave any water
standing on them.)
Third step, a little sanding.
Forth step, clean every piece with a tack cloth.
Step five, Whitewash with some off white acrylic paint.
Use a lint free cloth, wipe your paint on.
Then wipe some of your paint off.
Let your paint dry.
Step six, seal your paint.
I used a minwax product
that can be wiped on and rubbed off.
Let your sealer dry.
That's it!
Our dresser is nice and clean
with a little face lift.
Ready for company.
