Redo dresser ?

Of the countless chemical paint strippers on the market today CitriStrip is one of my favorites for a few reasons:

1. It’s bio-degradable
2. No neutralizing needed
3. No-harsh fumes (pleasant citrus odor)
4. Very effective
5. Non-caustic (no methylene chloride!)

Like all non-castic chemical strippers it doesn’t work quite as fast as the really dangerous stuff so learning some tips about how to use CitriStrip effectively can make the process much easier.

CitriStrip can be used effectively to remove multiple layers of latex paint, oil-based paint, varnish, lacquer, enamel, polyurethane, shellac, acrylics, and epoxy from wood, metal, and masonry surfaces. Other than cured glues there is very little you can’t get off with CitriStrip.

You could use Citristrip to take off some paint layers then paint it the color you’d want

I agree. Citristrip is the best. I've used it many times and on multiple layers of paint. Be advised, it may take a few treatments of Citristrip to remove all layer of paint.

Citristrip does work well! Be patient with it! Some people apply it and then cover it with plastic wrap so it can stay moist for longer and work better. I like to use it to get most of the paint off of items and then use a more traditional stripper and steel wool to get down to wood and clean off all the Citristrip gunk.

You can strip the paint off either with a chemical or a sander then go from there depending on the condition of the dresser.
