I used the white wash pickling stain, looks very rich although more of a beige than white. According to can label: 1 quart will cover approx. 100 square feet. It does of course depend on: how many coats, what color you're going over etc. If close buy a gallon will save $$$

Hello! I am not so sure. Will you be staining just the door's? Or are you removing the doors and painting the inside of the cabinets, you know, the whole cabinets? If one quart cover about 100 square feet, it goes far. A lot depends on how white you want to make the cabinets. two coats make things whiter. One tip: It goes on like water so it does go far. I'm sure your kitchen cabinets will look beautiful when finished. I'd love to see a picture when you are finished. I might try to talk with the (Minwax 61860) people, they could give you specifics much closer than I could. I do love this product though. GOD BLESS! Jan B (Can you buy it by the gallon?) Hello!

Wrap your counters and 3-5 feet of floor from cabinets in plastic sheets before starting (as shown in instructional dvd). It makes a big mess from spreading and sanding chips but if you wrap everything and are careful with the liquid ingredients you should not have a problem with drips/splatter of any kind.

I have not used on white cabinets, only stained or antique finishes. For my painted white bathroom cabinets I just use a mild soap and water, and never thought about using this product there. I would try it maybe on a place where it won't show if it does not work out.

It depends on your thickness. A totally smooth surface will also take less because you aren't having to make it thick enough to cover the bumps. How smooth is your plywood? Typically, 2 gallons (total) does about 60 square feet for a countertop so you could be looking at 12 gallons. At a 2:1 ratio, that would be 8:4. But that might be too thick.

What kind of finish? How old are the cabinets? This will REMOVE the finish down to the stain, is that what you want to do? If so, this is the right product. Afterwards you can put on a new finish, like polyurethane. Good luck, Nancy

I did 320 square feet, and had some left over. It seemed to take very little for each paver (I used a brush to thoroughly cover each one and the edges before they were laid down). The container says up to 400 square feet, and I thinks that's probably stretching it a bit. It really worked well to protect the pavers through the nasty winter we had in Pennsylvania - the pavers look like new! This product will bring out a lot of color, too.

I have you General Finishes Java gel stain on oak stained cabinets in both a kitchen and bathroom. I did not even sand the cabinets and they turned out GREAT.

I bought one bottle of cleaner and one bottle of stain for 4 chairs and a 2 seat bench. I have plenty of cleaner left over, but used most of the stain. I would recommend one bottle of cleaner and 2 bottles of stain for all of your furniture. The product works great, my furniture looks golden and new....but, it was a LOT of tedious work and somewhat messy. Good luck!

Looks like a quart. I used some degreaser through the machine to coat tough areas where spiders and tree frogs stain the vinyl siding. It all came off nicely when pressure washed.

I noticed that the latest quart of this tung oil does not say anything about diluting it. The previous quarts did. I have used it straight from the can and also diluted it with same amount of mineral spirits. Either way it will make the grain in your new wood absolutely beautiful. I would recommend buffing with 0000 steel wool between coats (2 or 3). I used three undiluted coats on some inexpensive unfinished kitchen table chairs 20 years ago and they still look good dispite everyday use. I truly love this stuff and highly recommend it.

Hi. I'm not sure what you might call an average sized room, but I can clean only about 8-900 square feet of my tiled home with an entire bottle. Honestly, the scent is so slight that to buy the bottle seems a waste. You can use distilled water with a splash of white vinegar in each little measuring cupful and get a better cleaning result. The vinegar scent goes a way quickly. But be sure to use distilled water or you'll end up with a mineral-clogged steamer. Good luck!

I've used The Minwax White Wash on a furniture that had honey colored stain, and also on window frames with dark espresso wood stain. I had to sand off the polyurethane coat, but after that, the White Wash worked just fine. The honey colored stain turned into whitewash with warm undertone. The dark wood stain became grayish whitewash.

I would strip your cabinets first. If they are already painted they probably have at least 3 coats already. Using this product will add another 4 coats at least

It depends on how bad of a stain you have (or smell). Also, it depends if the stain is old. The bottle states old stains may need to be treated multiple times. I used one gallon to treat my entire carpet in my family room (pretty big room... 15x18). I even over saturated certain areas that I previously treated before with other cleaners just to make sure. I can't guarantee how much it will cover because it all depends on your situation. I can tell you though, my carpet has never smelled or looked so clean! I hope this helps. Just follow the directions carefully :)

To sound like a commercial .... I would try it on a small area first. This is an oil, and this one does have a hint of color. I have white counters in my kitchen and if I drop a few by accident I notice the color. I always clean up quickly. I'm afraid to tell you go ahead and it stain your furniture!! Great idea. Just be careful.

Does not fit under my cabinets. Mine are about 16 to 16.5 inches (depending on where you measure - lol) in my 2006 house. Short by an inch or two. No need to dishwasher it. As folks say, a couple drops of soap + water on high for 30 seconds. Rinse and done. This thing is HUGE.

I have a bunch of them so I can rotate them. Have 1000 sq. ft of white tile (and Black Lab). I too soak in DW liquid before washing. I wash them with towel and especially stuff like bathroom rugs. They come out stained (just dark) but entirely useable. Haven't had to throw any out due to wear. Using for 9 months. I have to use about three to get thru 1 cleaning. I tried "off brand" and they sucked and didn't fit.
