Thank you! Now that I have your attention maybe you could help me with another question. I’ve been isolated at my sons house (a rental) and I’m trying to spruce it up a little. Is there any way to update his kitchen counters without having to spring for brand new ones?

I really hate to strip and sand and just want to slap it on some bookshelves and play with it. Will it work or does it have to be on bare wood? Thanks!
Sugar soap
I used Krud Kutter on my cabinets before I painted. You can see my cabinets and tutorial here: https://momhomeguide.com/best-way-paint-kitchen-cabinets/

Before I paint I clean my walls with TSP.
What are the current counters made of?
If they are laminate you can paint them. Big box stores sell kits so you can make a laminate counter look like granite or marble.

I use a mixture of vinegar, dish detergent and water :) Tip: Make sure before you paint that you have cleaned the surface well and allowed it to dry.
