Would it devalue my fireplace to paint it out in white? It is currently gray brick.
We have built-ins on either side of our gray brick fireplace, and I would love to paint the fireplace out in white. However, my husband feels it would be a bad idea.
Formica does not mix well with abrasive cleaners which will eventually damage the plastic coating. Instead you should use a damp cloth and dishsoap. Vinegar can also work well. Good luck!!
Try applying a light coat of mineral oil to give them a sheen. Good luck!
I first cleaned it with vinegar it seemed to get the dirt . Off But did not do anything for the shine. I go will try the mineral.oil. Will it wash off when it gets wet and make a mess? thank you
Try a baking soda mixture with hot water maybe white vinegar, bad stain try whitening toothpaste on the stain.
Once you have it clean looking try turtle wax and a buffer to give it a shine. You may also try to clean it with a rubbing compound before you wax it.
I agree with REWILSON Once it is cleaned to your satisfaction...I often use a paste of Baking Soda and water..plus elbow grease . ...buff it with a paste wax for a nice shine.
We once rented a camper so small you could sit on the toilet and take a shower. If it is larger than that you could sand up the walls then try mod podge and do a collage of maps then , since it is a rather small room, you could try putting clear contact paper over all.
Thanks everyone. I like the modge podge idea I just did 3 TV tables to use with a camper. Not sure about the clear contact paper but it is pretty small. I think maybe that'll be a winter project. I will try to repost when I get done with it
