Frequently Asked Questions
Question--How many bottles will it take for an average kitchen.
Answer-- According to our customers they are using more than one bottle for an average kitchen. We recommend 2 bottles. Because you must apply the product wet and even you will need more than a regular dusting product. The oil penetrates into the finish, the cleaners dissolve the GUNK and you will wipe it away using paper towels. Paper towels work better than a rag, because the rag gets oily and can leave residue. You are finished when you have a clean paper towel and can run your hand across the finish with no finger prints.
Question--Can the white faded areas from steam from my coffee pot under the counter be repaired with the Finish Rejuvenator?
Answer-- The Rejuvenator was invented for antiques to do just that very thing. Because the oil penetrates into the finish the white area will disappear and will not return. The Oil is the same kind of oil used in the finish to begin with---not lemons or oranges.
Question--Can you use the Rejuvenator on wood floors.
Answer--Yes, because the oil penetrates the finish and leaves no oily residue you can safely use it on wood or parquet floors. If its wood that looks less than perfect, use the Rejuvenator.
Question--Why do I have to use the #0000 steel wool?
Answer--The steel wool allows the oil to penetrate into the finish. A rag will hold the oil and will not let the cleaners and oils do the job they have to do to clean and feed oil back into the finish so it lasts.
Question--Can I use rags instead of paper towels to remove the residue.
Answer--A good absorbant paper towel, like bounty or viva, work best. A rag gets oily and you can leave residue on the finish that will dry dull. You would then have to reapply.
Question--Can I apply more than one application?
Answer-- If you apply the Rejuvenator wet and even using the #0000 steel wool ,just like you are putting on a new coat of paint, the finish will absorb the oil it needs and the cleaner will dissolve the grease and buildup with one application. The Rejuvenator has nothing in the formula that will dissolve any finish, except wax, so it is safe to apply a second time if the finish is still cloudy or sticky. Never scrub. Apply wet and even and wipe off the rest until you have no fingerprints.
Question--My son sprayed Lysol spray on my wood trim and it has white spots, will the Rejuvenator fix this.
Answer-- YES, just apply the Rejuvenator wet and even and wipe it off. The spots will dissappear and they won't come back.
Question--My white area was caused by steam from the coffee pot under the counter.
Answer--Same thing as a white water ring or the pizza box on the dining table. Oil is the life of any finish and when the oil is gone moisture penetrates and leaves the finish white or cloudy. Replace the oil and the finish is clear again. Lemons and oranges, or alcohol based products will not penetrate an oil base finish--the Rejuvenator Will.
Question--My cabinets are painted or pickled. Can I use the rejuvenator?
Answer--Sure they still have to be cleaned. If the paint is thin around the edges you may have to touch up with paint. Always use the Rejuvenator first and then if you need to add stain or touch up the finish you can.
Question--If some of the color is gone around the handles will the Rejuvenator fix this or do I have to Refinish?
Answer--Use the Rejuvenator then if you need to add color use an oil base stain and touch up the varnish to seal. I have used the Tung Oil over stain and got good results. The Tung Oil can be applied until the correct shine is achieved.
Question--My cabinets have no finish left and the still don't shine after the Rejuvenator, can I apply a new finish now.
Answer-- Because the Rejuvenator was invented for antiques it has no wax, color or silicone. You can put a new finish over it to achieve the shine you want. Make sure the oil is completly wiped off before you start the new finish.
