Got any tips for getting rid of old finishes or stains on a coffee table?

Before you give your coffee table a fresh new look, you’ll want to get rid of any old finishes or stains. Here are some handy tips to do this effectively:

  • Sand it down: Start by sanding the surface of your coffee table with coarse-grit sandpaper. This helps remove any existing finish or stain and preps the wood for a new coat. For more helpful tips here’s sanding before painting furniture.
  • Use chemical strippers: If sanding isn’t enough, try a chemical stripper made for furniture. Follow the instructions and wear protective gear. Here’s our list of the best wood stain removers to learn more about the pros and cons of each product to help you make an informed decision on which stripper is best for your project. 
  • Bleach it: For tough stains, bleach can work wonders. Mix equal parts water and bleach, apply it to the stain, and let it sit for a few minutes before wiping off.

Always work in a well-ventilated area and wear protective gear when using chemicals. It’s also smart to test any products on a small, hidden spot of your coffee table first.
