Okay sooo we have been going back and forth on how to improve the look of our cabinets …. like should we paint, restore or stain? I honestly thought they were a lost cause. They were so faded and just worn looking as you can tell in the pictures. But they are real oak, and because they are real oak I for sure did not want to replace them. PPP team member Mary said this does not work on “fake” wood. So make sure to keep that in mind.
So I grabbed Scott's Liquid Gold  at a hardware store thinking okay I can spend less than $13 (which is actually under $10 over on Amazon right now) and thought hey, it won't hurt to see what it does…..
Y'all…….. I could….. not…….believe….
1 – How EASY it was
2 – How much of a difference it made!! Check this out – They look amazing!!
If you notice the cabinets looked chipped but they aren't – its just wear and tear. All we did was clean them off with disinfecting cleaning wipes. Then sprayed Scott's Liquid Gold on an old rag and wiped them down. It only took one can to do my cabinets.
Voila ~ transformation!Â
They look almost newly restored cabinets for less than $10!!! And now they are smooth…. It is the craziest coolest thing ever!

Have you used Scott's on any home projects before? I'd love to hear about whatever success you've had – and let me know what other cabinet miracles you might have used!

We’re putting our house on the market next weekend and our kitchen cabinets need a lift. So we will be picking up some of that stuff tomorrow!!! Thanks for sharing!
this brings back memories, my Mom used Liquid Gold when she would clean the paneling ( back in the 70’s)
I wonder if it would work on my oak table! It’s 30 years old and with 3 kiddos, it’s seen better days!
Wow! Thanks for sharing. I’m sold, ready to do that to my kitchen. My cabinets look just like yours DID. Can I ask how many cans it took to do your whole kitchen? *taking notes*
It only took 1 Rose and it still has a lot in it. A reader had said I will need to touch it up often just FYI…. Which is seriously took less than an hour so totally worth it!
Hope it works as well on yours!!
Scott’s liquid Gold it’s something I’ve been using for decades as my mom did before. It’s been around since the 60s and there was never not been a can of in our home. I can remember as a 10-year-old in the 70s polishing the furniture with it. It’s amazing watching the old things become new again 🙂
That is such a cool story! Thank you for sharing with us.
