Victorian House Finish Rejuvenator restores wood to avoid the cost of replacement.
The cost of replacing, or simply refacing, kitchen cabinets can be cost prohibitive. But with the kitchen at the heart of most homes, how can a homeowner keep it looking its best?
Doris Jean of The Victorian House of Skiatook, Oklahoma, says to consider a product like Victorian House Finish Rejuvenator to restore kitchen cabinets and other wood products to their original beauty.
“In these economic times, our products are more valuable than ever,” she says. “If a customer can save the wood in their homes instead of replacing it, they’ll save money.”
Victorian House Finish Rejuvenator was invented nearly 30 years ago for the use in restoring antique wood furnishings. Not only is it useful for antiques, but it can also remove dirty, greasy spots from wood furnishings and floors as well as restore lighter, faded areas to their original luster.
“One situation I recall was a husband who had pressed his trousers on the dining table,” Jean says. “Of course, there was a large white area from the heat of the iron on the tabletop, also known as the ‘pizza box’ effect. He said his wife was about ready to divorce him. He bought and used the finish rejuvenator and reported that we had saved his marriage.”
Kitchen Cabinet Restoration
“Not every customer wants to spend money on new cabinets or wood floors when the wood can be saved,” Jean says. New, updated countertops usually look great in the kitchen, except when paired with dull, aging cabinetry. “For around $50, you can bring the original color and shine back to the cabinets and woodwork, and the kitchen looks new again,” Jean says. The product also works well on scratches in wood floors, and the results should last for years, not weeks, Jean says.
“Miracle in the Blue Bottle”
Jean’s rejuvenator has been called a “miracle in the blue bottle” for its ability to restore wood to its former beauty. “I remember a customer from one home show very well,” Jean says. “She came up the aisle with our familiar blue bottle under her arm. Of course, I was thinking she had a complaint, but she stood quietly while I explained how to remove grease from the cabinet doors in the kitchen. I finished talking and asked if she had a problem, and she promptly said, ‘No, I just wanted to make sure I got the right product.’”
Other Uses Besidses Cabinet Restoration
Jean says Victorian House Finish Rejuvenator has been used in museums as well as a castle in England. She recalls the story of a customer who enlisted his young son to help clean his office.
“He sprayed Lysol on the woodwork,” she says. “You can imagine white spots on dark woodwork, and they didn’t disappear. After talking to one of our representatives at a show, he was able to remove the white spots and bring back the original shine.”
Although the Victorian House Finish Rejuvenator is Jean’s top-selling product, the company sells other products for restoring wood as well as brass and copper. The company demonstrates its products’ uses at the Builders St. Louis Home and Garden Show.
