How to remove old paint and wood stains?

[phiaxs]

Hey Bunnings community 👋  

I’d like some advice on how I can remove wall paint and wood stains on surfaces, I moved into this house and the previous owner’s paint job wasn’t great. I’d like to clean it up as best as I can to make things look more aesthetically pleasing. Thanks team.

Hello @phiaxs 

I propose testing DIGGERS 1L Methylated Spirits and a clean rag on the door first. Wet a small corner of the clean rag with metho and test a small section to see if the stain comes off. You can also apply the same technique on the side of the door frame. Please remember to test a small section first before you commit the entire area to make sure that it is effective. 

Another product you can try to use is Rocket Super Fine Steel Wool - Super Fine. Again, I suggest testing it on a small section first to see if it will remove the old stains on the door. If it is effective, continue with the sanding process using the steel wool.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
