Questions & Answers
Can I use original krud cutters in place of tsp when prepping oak cabinets for painting?
Happy to help, Tracy! Rust-Oleum Krud Kutter Pre-Paint Cleaner/TSP Substitute is a great choice to use instead of TSP as rinsing is not required, and the product is ready to use. Plus, it also deglosses the surface. Rust-Oleum Krud Kutter Original Cleaner & Degreaser is great to clean most surfaces. However, the product does need to be diluted for most applications, and it will not degloss surfaces. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
Yes you can! Just make sure you rinse it off thoroughly with warm water. Thanks!
Do I need to sand appliances before repainting with appliance paint if I use this?
Happy to help, Patty! Yes, Rust-Oleum Krud Kutter Pre-Paint Cleaner/TSP Substitute will degloss surfaces without the need for sanding. We recommend applying in a test area first. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
I will be painting a rusty iron railing and would like to know if the steps I'll be using are correct: 1) apply Krud Kutter prepaint cleaner 2) sand away rust and loose paint with an angle grinder. Are some parts will be down to bare metal bcs paint has peeled. 3) clean railing with dish soap and water 4) apply Krud Kutter The Must for Rust 5) apply primer, then paint Thanks!
Thank you for reaching out! If the iron railing is rusty and has peeling paint, we would recommend beginning with the grinder, or using a wire brush or sandpaper to remove loose rust and paint. Once you are down to a sound surface, any remaining rusty metal can be treated by applying our Krud Kutter the Must for Rust, to dissolve the rust, then removed by rinsing the surface. At this point, our Krud Kutter Prepaint Cleaner TSP Substitute can be used to clean the railing and make sure it is ready for a new paint job. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 2
I need clarification regarding Krud Kutter Prepaint Cleaner vs. Krud Kutter Gloss-Off. Which would be the most effective for cleaning oil-based painted trim, doors and baseboard prior to repainting with oil paint? I want a no-rinse product to save time.
Happy to help! Either can be used to help prepare previously painted surfaces for a new coat of paint. Rust-Oleum Prepaint Cleaner/TSP Substitute does not require rinsing, but the surface must be allowed to fully dry before painting over it. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
I just want to add some depth to the color since repainting all the kitchen cabinets are not an option, as per my husband
Thank you for reaching out, Rosie. Rust-Oleum Krud Kutter Prepaint Cleaner/TSP Substitute is designed to clean and prepare surfaces for painting and would not refresh the color. We need to know more about your application to make the best recommendation for you. Please feel free to call us at (800) 901-0411 to discuss further. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 5
Can i use this product and then stain wood instead of painting?
Thank you for your response. Rust-Oleum Krud Kutter Prepaint Cleaner/TSP Substitute cleans and de-glosses surfaces prior to painting. It is a ready-to-use, spray-on-wipe-off formula that cleans and de-glosses the surface so paint adheres better. To stain surfaces, you need to sand the surface according to the product label instructions in addition to cleaning so the stain will be able to penetrate properly. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 5
I am having a hard time figuring out if I need this product or Gloss Off. I am going to paint my 27 year old oak cabinets (from stained and varnished to white) and want something that will help the paint stay on. Which would be the better choice? I am also painting a stained and varnished bureau, with the same question. I have read the descriptions for both and need an expert opinion. Thanks!
Happy to help. Both Rust-Oleum Krud Kutter Pre-Paint Cleaner / TSP Substitute and Krud Kutter Gloss Off Prepaint Surface Preparation can be used to clean and prep stained and varnished furniture for painting, either can be used for your project. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Krud-Kutter-32-oz-Gloss-Off-Prepaint-Surface-Preparation-GO326/203396842 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 6
