🎙️ Episode #8: From Grime to Gorgeous — The Ultimate Cleaning Routine Before You Paint

If your paint ever peeled, bubbled, or just didn’t stick right… you’re not alone!

In this episode, Val shares her step-by-step cleaning routine for prepping furniture before painting — the routine that saves time, frustration, and your beautiful finish. 🧼✨

Val talks about:

  • The cleaner she swears by (hello, Krud Kutter!)
  • The right order for prepping — and why it matters
  • A big mistake she made while painting her own walls that taught her a valuable lesson about prep
  • How she uses a rotating scrubber brush to clean detailed or extra-grungy pieces
  • Why even “no prep required” paint still needs prep (yep, sorry!)And a heartfelt faith connection you won’t forget — about restoration, transformation, and how we’re all made new 💛

Pro Tip: Even if you’re told you don’t have to prep, do it anyway! Clean → Repair → Sand → Clean again → Prime if needed (and why you don't sand BEFORE you clean).

🎧 Listen now to learn how to turn your next piece from grimy to gorgeous — and get results that last.

💛 Faith Tie-In:

Just like furniture that’s been neglected and grimy can be restored to beauty, so can we. Val shares a moving story in a book she read, Chataine’s Guardian by Robin Hardy — a reminder that no matter how rough we start, transformation is always possible.
