Degreaser + Deglosser Made Just for Cabinets
🎯 One Simple Step That Saves Your Paint Job
You only get one shot at a flawless cabinet finish—don’t let hidden grease or glossy residue ruin it.
Cabinet Prep is a fast, effective spray that removes years of grime, hand oils, and surface shine—giving you the perfect foundation for Cabinet Mud, primer, and paint.
✅ Why DIYers Start with Cabinet Prep:
- Breaks through kitchen grease and cooking residue with ease
- Dulls glossy surfaces for better primer, filler, and paint adhesion
- Leaves zero residue—no waxes or silicones to mess up your results
- Safe for wood, laminate, and MDF cabinet surfaces
- No rinse required—just spray, wipe, and move on
This is the step that separates frustrating DIY failures… from beautiful, lasting results.
🧼 Why Not Just Use Dish Soap or TSP?
- 🧼 Dish soap doesn’t remove gloss
- ⚠ TSP can damage MDF and leave residue
- ✖ Vinegar isn’t a true degreaser—and leaves streaks
Cabinet Prep is designed specifically for cabinetry—vertical surfaces, stubborn grease, daily grime, and paint adhesion.
🛠️ When to Use Cabinet Prep:
- ✅ Before Cabinet Mud – Ensures filler adheres properly
- ✅ Before Primer or Paint – Removes kitchen residue and gloss
- ✅ Before Repainting – Cuts through old waxes or cleaners
- ✅ After Sanding – Removes dust, oils, and fingerprints
📋 How to Use:
- Spray directly onto cabinet surface
- Wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth
- Let dry—no rinsing needed
Pro Tip: For heavy grease, let it sit for 1–2 minutes before wiping.
🧪 What’s Inside (and What’s Not):
- ✅ Distilled Water
- ✅ White Vinegar (natural degreaser)
- ✅ Alcohol (fast-drying cleaner + deglosser)
- ✅ Surfactants (for grime removal)
- ✅ Broad-spectrum preservative for safety and shelf life
- ❌ No ammonia
- ❌ No bleach
- ❌ No harsh solvents
- ❌ No waxy film or oily residue
