Oak is a timber that usually cannot be sanded to a fine finish and so the covering of oak tends to be thin and only sufficient for the immediate protection of the surface rather than any serious attempt to beautify it.

It is helpful to know what the original finish is - it could be a clear or coloured wax, oil, or varnish. It could also have been finished with French Polish
Often the wood is dyed first with a spirit dye and a clear finish over the top. In the case of a portion becoming sun-bleached the top finish will need scraping and/or sanding away and some clever work with the wood dye to make the colour uniform - or bleach the entire surface and begin again.

Once a uniform colour that matches the original has been obtained it will be necessary to reapply the surface finish.

Remove mold on hardwood floor

Spray the oak floor with a 50% solution of white vinegar solution mixed with water and let stand for an hour, then clean with hot soapy water. Alternatively clean the floor with a steam mop, as either method will kill the mould on your floor.

Re-fresh old cabinet fronts

Give them a light sanding with 280 grit sand paper. Clean well with mineral spirits (anything with water will raise grain and not take stain evenly) Stain cabinets with a gel stain, brush on and wipe off with a rag (check product instructions for how long to leave on before wiping off) If a darker finish is desired apply another coat after first coat is completely dry. Once stain is dry and you have the color you want then you will clear coat with a poly. First coat of poly will need to be a light "tack coat". before it is completely dry apply another coat aprox 30 mins. Let second coat dry completely prob 24-48 hrs. then sand with a 400grit sandpaper. and continue process for at least 4 coats. Dont forget to get desired sheen of poly when you purchase. If brushing on you will prob not want to use a really high gloss (may show brush strokes). Good Luck

Machine life is depends on the cabinet condition if the cabinet condition is good means you can service the machine it will be useful otherwise it is better go for exchange
