Questions & Answers

Can I use original krud cutters in place of tsp when prepping oak cabinets for painting?

Answer This Question

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!

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!

        Answer This Question

        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.

          Answer This Question

          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

              Answer This Question

              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!

                      I was looking for easy solution for cleaning old wall paper paste from wall. While reading various websites, I found out about Krud Kutter products and how well they work. Based on reviews I bought the Pre paint cleaner. I just sprayed Kurd Kutter Pre paint on the glue and wiped glue off with a rough small towel. Was the easiest glue removal job I ever did. I have been a DIYer for years. Save yourself !! Buy Krud Kutter Prepaint cleaner.

                      I used this before painting some old cabinets. Cleaned them better than I’d dreamed and the paint has hung on well.
