1/6/2024 0 Comments Vintage quick cleanerI just wiped the mirror clean when I was finished and it cleaned up great! I ended up taking the plastic off halfway into the process because it was falling off and the oven cleaner wasn’t ruining the mirror anyways. I taped off my mirror because I didn’t want to take off the back and remove the mirror before I sprayed it down. I sprayed it on and let it sit for 20 minutes (or can sit longer)… even the “fume free” is stinky, so work outside if you can, with a mask, goggles, and gloves. It’s a super simple process and goes fairly quickly. I think it depends on the type of paint and how thick the paint is as to whether or not it will work good or not. I haven’t had the best of luck with using it with paint. See how dark that stain is? It’s amazing to me how much lighter it got, just by stripping with two coats of the oven cleaner! I have seen people do this with paint as well. For myself, if I’m planning on stripping it anyways, I would rather try oven cleaner before trying furniture strip because it’s less goopy and goes faster. It’s tough to tell sometimes whether or not it’s going to work great or not. Update: I have (since this project) used it on a lot of larger furniture and it’s worked amazingly well on so many pieces, but I do still have times when it doesn’t work as well. For smaller projects, like this, it’s great and goes super fast! I always ended up switching to furniture stripper. I never ended up finishing a project that I had started with oven cleaner because of that reason. I had tried oven cleaner several times on previous projects that were larger, and it worked but was costing too much because I had to use so much. I had been wanting to strip the stain off, to lighten it up a little. What a guy! He knows me and exactly what I like! He even went out shopping by himself at a consignment store. My sweet hubs, Trav, got this mirror for me last Christmas.
