Question 1

How many bottles would I need to clean a kitchen with approximately 30 cabinets or a medium-sized kitchen?

Accepted Answer

1-2 max would probably do it depending on how dirty your cabinets are.  If pretty clean, one may be enough.  It doesn't take a lot to prep the surface . I did about 20 cabinets  with doors and drawers and still had 1/3 bottle left.

Question 2

I see this works on painted surfaces.  I have 40 yr old varnished, glossy kitchen cabinets.  How will it work to remove the gloss & prep for painting?

Accepted Answer

Krud Kutter has a different product to use. Krud Kutter De-glosser. This is a good product because it does a couple of things at once. It cleans, kills the mold spores, and deglosses the surface. It would be best to use the de-glosser first, lightly sand, and then wipe once more with the de-glosser to be extra safe. Not all primers will work that well. You may want to use a special paint for doing Kitchen cabinets like BreakThrough by PPG paints. What you want is something that dries hard and adheres well, without sticking. In the industry, they call it "Non-blocking" which means it resists sticking. Oil paint does this well, but has many drawbacks, so I would go with a non blocking water based paint. You can probably skip the primer with the Breakthrough as long as you follow the steps I mentioned earlier. Hope this helps. - Mike Eaton, Professional painter.

Question 3

what is the difference between this and regular Krud Kutter?

Accepted Answer

My understanding is that regular  Krud Kutter only cleans the surfaces. The prepaint version actually cleans and softens the painted surface and increases new paint adhesion to the old surface. I've used the prepaint product multiple times on kitchen cabinets and exterior window frames and it does a great job.

Question 4

How does this compare to Wil-Bond?

Accepted Answer

I have never used Wil-Bond  but for paint prep this stuff is the BEST!  I will not try anything else because this does such an awesome job!
