However, if you&#8217;ve never used them before, you may wonder what exactly this nifty little tool can do \u2013 and most importantly, how it will affect your wood surfaces when you apply mineral spirits to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mineral spirits help dissolve all types of oils, including ones that affect your wood pieces. This includes sticky sap residue if your wood is being stored outside, adhesive left from purchase stickers if you&#8217;ve just bought a new set of wooden planks, and so on. It also helps clean your wood pieces of general dirt and debris and helps olden items look good as new.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be wondering how exactly a single product can have so many effects on wood. If you want to know exactly how mineral spirits affect wood, keep reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Effects Mineral Spirits Have on Wood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Restore Warmth and Shine to the Wood<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve got older wood pieces with finishes that have dulled over time, mineral spirits are a great way to revive their shine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/woodiswood.com\/how-to-use-mineral-spirits-to-remove-paint\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mineral spirits<\/a> are a <strong>solvent<\/strong>, which means this product can easily <strong>cut through<\/strong> years of <strong>build-up of grime<\/strong>, and <strong>polish, wax<\/strong>, and <strong>oil remnants<\/strong>. It is, of course, possible to get rid of this with <strong>regular cleaners<\/strong> \u2013 but that <strong>requires<\/strong> much <strong>more<\/strong> <strong>elbow grease<\/strong> than you&#8217;ll have to put in if you&#8217;re using mineral spirits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, mineral spirits are a relatively <strong>mild solvent<\/strong>. <strong>Stronger options<\/strong> can <strong>strip your wood of<\/strong> the <strong>finish<\/strong> altogether, but that <strong>isn&#8217;t a concern<\/strong> with this product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Clean Stubborn Stains from Wood<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting rid of dust from your wooden floors is easy \u2013 but what happens when you&#8217;re faced with <strong>more stubborn stains<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve got a <a href=\"https:\/\/woodiswood.com\/8-tips-to-staining-your-deck\/\">wooden deck<\/a> or a patio that&#8217;s open to the elements, you&#8217;ve likely found the <strong>tree sap<\/strong> tends to stick to the wood, ruining the look of the project you spent so long working on. Additionally, it&#8217;s a <strong>major problem to clean<\/strong> \u2013 you&#8217;ll likely struggle to get it off if you can affect the sap at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s where mineral spirits come in. They <strong>soften the stain<\/strong>, making it <strong>easy<\/strong> for you <strong>to clean<\/strong> the spot and <strong>restore your wood floors<\/strong> to as good as new. All you need to do when applying mineral spirits is to <strong>let<\/strong> a <strong>spirit-soaked rag sit on the<\/strong> <strong>stain<\/strong> for a <strong>few minutes<\/strong> before wiping it away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, mineral spirits are also a great option for getting <strong>oil-based stains<\/strong> off of any wooden objects you may have. These can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Food oil stains<\/strong> in and around your kitchen<\/li><li><strong>Adhesive stains<\/strong> from price tags and other stickers<\/li><li><strong>Stains<\/strong> from <strong>oil-based lotions<\/strong> and <strong>other<\/strong> <strong>beauty products<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Prepare Wood for Staining<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may already know that mineral spirits can be extremely useful if you&#8217;re looking to <strong>dilute<\/strong> an <strong>oil-based wood finish<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, that isn&#8217;t the only time mineral spirits can come in handy while working with wood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Once<\/strong> you&#8217;re <strong>done carving<\/strong>, you need to <strong>stain<\/strong> <strong>and finish<\/strong> your wood pieces. However, before you can do that, you need to <strong>sand your piece down first<\/strong> to <strong>get<\/strong> <strong>rid<\/strong> <strong>of<\/strong> all the <strong>carving marks<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How, then, do you <strong>clean your wood after sanding<\/strong>? While <strong>sanding gets rid of<\/strong> <strong>scuff marks<\/strong> and carving impurities, it <strong>leaves behind<\/strong> a lot of <strong>sawdust<\/strong>. If you try to stain your wood immediately after sanding, you <strong>risk trapping this sawdust<\/strong> <strong>in<\/strong> the <strong>stain<\/strong>, making it part of the final piece.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want a <strong>clear, pristine surface<\/strong>, you need to use <strong>mineral spirits<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When cleaning with mineral spirits, you <strong>don&#8217;t need to be too aggressive<\/strong>, the way you would if you were working on a stubborn stain. Instead, <strong>gently wiping down<\/strong> all <strong>wooden surfaces with a rag<\/strong> that has been <strong>dampened with spirits<\/strong> will do the trick.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, because it&#8217;s a relatively gentle process, you <strong>won&#8217;t leave marks<\/strong> on the wood the way you would if you had to be rougher. This is <strong>especially<\/strong> <strong>important<\/strong> <strong>when<\/strong> you&#8217;re <strong>working with a softwood<\/strong> that shows marks easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Show Wood Grain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re working on a woodworking project and want to ensure that the finished piece will look as aesthetic as possible, you need to choose a wood with a <strong>grain<\/strong> <strong>pattern<\/strong> that <strong>you like<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the challenge you&#8217;ll experience is simple \u2013 the <strong>grain pattern<\/strong> you see when picking out the wood is <strong>not necessarily what<\/strong> the pattern <strong>will look like after<\/strong> you&#8217;ve completed and <strong>finished the piece<\/strong>. You need to have a way to <strong>highlight the<\/strong> <strong>wood grain<\/strong> of your chosen wood in a way that is <strong>similar<\/strong> <strong>to what it will look<\/strong> <strong>like<\/strong> <strong>after finishing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mineral spirits are a great option for this. They <strong>don&#8217;t raise the grain<\/strong> of the wood \u2013 all they do is <strong>highlight it temporarily<\/strong>. It allows you to <strong>get an idea<\/strong> of <strong>what you&#8217;re<\/strong> <strong>working<\/strong> <strong>with<\/strong> and adjust your design if need be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Clean Oils From Oily Woods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some wood<\/strong> varieties, such as <strong>purpleheart<\/strong> and <strong>rosewoods<\/strong>, can be <strong>extremely oily<\/strong>. This makes them <strong>challenging to work<\/strong> <strong>with<\/strong>, especially if you&#8217;re using expensive power tools that can gum up due to the oils in the wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you <strong>wipe<\/strong> your <strong>wood down with mineral spirits<\/strong> before you start working with it, you can <strong>remove a ton of<\/strong> the <strong>oil<\/strong> <strong>from<\/strong> the wood <strong>surface<\/strong>. While this does not affect the inside of the wood, the spirits will make your wood somewhat <strong>easier to<\/strong> <strong>work with<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll <strong>still need<\/strong> <strong>to finish<\/strong> the project <strong>with<\/strong> an <strong>evaporative finish<\/strong> <strong>or<\/strong> a <strong>sealant<\/strong> for long-term protection, but it will make the <strong>carving process more manageable<\/strong> for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Mineral Spirits Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>mineral spirits are a <strong>petroleum distillate<\/strong> that works as a <strong>solvent<\/strong>. Because it can <strong>dissolve oil<\/strong>, it is most commonly used as an <strong>oil-based solvent<\/strong> or <strong>paint thinner<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When used with oil-based paints and finishes, it <strong>makes<\/strong> the <strong>paint<\/strong> (or finish) <strong>thinner<\/strong> and <strong>easier to work with<\/strong>. It also helps artists refine the colors they are using, as they can <strong>add mineral spirits to paint<\/strong> as needed <strong>to create<\/strong> the <strong>color<\/strong> <strong>they<\/strong> <strong>want<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because it is a solvent, it can also be used as a <strong>cleaner<\/strong> in a <strong>wide<\/strong> <strong>variety<\/strong> of <strong>industries<\/strong>, <strong>including<\/strong> the <strong>woodworking<\/strong> industry. Unlike when mixed together with paint, mineral spirits <strong>do not mix with<\/strong> the <strong>substance<\/strong> that a <strong>person<\/strong> is <strong>trying<\/strong> <strong>to clean<\/strong>.&nbsp;Instead, it <strong>thins and dislodges the substance<\/strong>. This makes it <strong>easier<\/strong> for people <strong>to<\/strong> <strong>get rid of<\/strong> even the stubbornest of <strong>stains<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Buy the Right Mineral Spirits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like most other products, there are a <strong>ton of<\/strong> mineral spirits on the market for you to choose from. While the variety allows you to have other <strong>options<\/strong> you can consider if the first doesn&#8217;t work for you, it also makes <strong>shopping<\/strong> a tad more <strong>challenging<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally we recommend the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B084WXZ4XK\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=woodiswood-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B084WXZ4XK&amp;linkId=d57e4744fb2dc713c119cf9f621f85f8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Klean Strip Green Odorless Mineral Spirits<\/a>&nbsp;from Amazon.com. Not only is it <strong>odorless<\/strong> and <strong>non-flammable<\/strong>, it also comes with a pair of <strong>nitrile gloves<\/strong> to ensure you <strong>stay safe<\/strong> when using this product.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if this product isn&#8217;t available in your area or you would like to find something else yourself, you will <strong>need to figure<\/strong> out what <strong>alternative<\/strong> to invest in. To make things easier, here are <strong>some tips<\/strong> you can keep in mind <strong>when<\/strong> <strong>shopping for mineral spirits<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Check the grade<\/strong>. Mineral spirits are generally available in <strong>three grades<\/strong>: low flash, regular, and high flash. For <strong>domestic use<\/strong>, you <strong>shouldn&#8217;t require<\/strong> <strong>anything stronger than regular grade<\/strong> mineral spirits, and you&#8217;ll generally be able to <strong>do perfectly well with<\/strong> a <strong>low flash grade<\/strong> option.<\/li><li><strong>Make sure you&#8217;re buying mineral spirits rather than mineral oil<\/strong>. While they both have a relatively similar origin, <strong>mineral oil is food-safe<\/strong> <strong>and body-safe<\/strong>. It is most commonly used to treat dry skin and callouses and clean dishes and other utensils. While it <strong>can be used on wood<\/strong>, it is <strong>nowhere near as effective as mineral spirits<\/strong> are.<\/li><li><strong>Make sure you&#8217;re not buying paint thinner<\/strong>. While <strong>mineral spirits<\/strong> and <strong>paint thinner<\/strong> are often used interchangeably, they aren&#8217;t always <strong>the same thing<\/strong>. Paint thinners are a <strong>wider range of solvents<\/strong> that are <strong>used to<\/strong> <strong>thin oil-based paints<\/strong> and include <strong>turpentine, acetone<\/strong>, and <strong>naptha<\/strong>, as well as mineral spirits. All of these have <strong>different effects on wood<\/strong>, and the <strong>may be more toxic<\/strong> than mineral spirits.<\/li><li><strong>Check to see if the mineral spirits you&#8217;re considering are odorless and non-flammable<\/strong>. Non-flammable mineral spirits are a <strong>safer option<\/strong> over flammable versions. Additionally, odorless spirits are easier to use \u2013 <strong>mineral spirits<\/strong> tend to <strong>have an unpleasant<\/strong>, kerosene-like <strong>smell<\/strong>. <strong>Odorless<\/strong> <strong>variants<\/strong> are not only <strong>more convenient<\/strong> to use, they can also be <strong>safer<\/strong>, as they have been <strong>refined to remove<\/strong> a number of <strong>toxic compounds<\/strong> that give mineral spirits their smell.<\/li><li><strong>Buy high-quality products<\/strong>. While mineral spirits are relatively safe to use as long as you take certain basic precautions, they are <strong>inherently<\/strong> <strong>toxic<\/strong>. What this means is that if you buy <strong>low<\/strong>, dubious <strong>quality<\/strong> spirits, you <strong>risk<\/strong> <strong>getting<\/strong> a <strong>product<\/strong> <strong>that is dangerous<\/strong> to your health.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Apply Mineral Spirits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve never used mineral spirits before, don&#8217;t worry \u2013 the process for applying them to wooden surfaces is relatively similar. Here are the <strong>basic steps<\/strong> you should follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Dampen an old rag<\/strong> with the mineral spirits of your choice. If you&#8217;re looking for a <strong>solvent<\/strong> <strong>that is gentler<\/strong> than mineral spirits, you can <strong>mix<\/strong> the spirits <strong>with<\/strong> a bit of <strong>mild soap first<\/strong>.<\/li><li>If you&#8217;re trying to get rid of a dried stain like tree sap, <strong>squeeze out<\/strong> the <strong>excess spirits<\/strong> from the rag <strong>onto the spot<\/strong>. Then, <strong>let the rag<\/strong> sit over the stain <strong>for a few moments<\/strong> to <strong>soften<\/strong> <strong>the stain<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Use the damp rag to <strong>wipe away<\/strong> the dust, grime, and polish and wax build-up.<\/li><li>For <strong>detailed<\/strong> and <strong>hard-to-reach areas<\/strong>, replace the rag with an <strong>old<\/strong> <strong>toothbrush<\/strong> or <strong>steel wool<\/strong> that has been dampened with mineral spirits first.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for more help on how to apply mineral spirits, you can refer to this <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/woodiswood.com\/5-easy-steps-to-apply-mineral-spirits\/\" target=\"_blank\">article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can also refer to this YouTube video, which shows you how you can clean old wood furnishings with mineral spirits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V3eqAH0Aozk&#038;ab_channel=BenderJamesBond\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"Rustic Bookshelf Cleaning with mineral spirits\" title=\"Play video &quot;Rustic Bookshelf Cleaning with mineral spirits&quot;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V3eqAH0Aozk&#038;ab_channel=BenderJamesBond<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V3eqAH0Aozk&#038;ab_channel=BenderJamesBond\" title=\"Rustic Bookshelf Cleaning with mineral spirits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rustic Bookshelf Cleaning with mineral spirits (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V3eqAH0Aozk&#038;ab_channel=BenderJamesBond)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternatives to Mineral Spirits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While mineral spirits are undoubtedly one of the most effective solvents to use on wood, they&#8217;re not an option for everyone. Due to the <strong>volatile organic compounds (VOCs)<\/strong> in mineral spirits, they are <strong>banned or restricted<\/strong> in <strong>many<\/strong> <strong>parts of the United States<\/strong>, which means that woodworkers in these areas need to have alternatives they can work with.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some options you can consider include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Denatured Alcohol<\/strong>: This is a type of <strong>ethanol<\/strong> that can be used for everything from camping stove fuel to a wood cleaning aid. However, it should be noted that this product <strong>will strip your wood of any oil<\/strong>. This means that it <strong>cannot be used for thinning paints<\/strong> or <strong>refreshing finishes<\/strong>. Instead, you should stick to use it for <strong>wood cleaning, especially unfinished<\/strong> <strong>wood<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Acetone<\/strong>: This is a significantly <strong>less toxic option<\/strong> than mineral spirits, and you <strong>don&#8217;t need to use a mask<\/strong> when working with it. It&#8217;s the same substance that is used as a nail polish remover and can be used to <strong>remove<\/strong> <strong>oil, grease,<\/strong> <strong>glue<\/strong> and <strong>glue-residue<\/strong>, and <strong>dirt<\/strong> <strong>from<\/strong> your <strong>wood surfaces<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Turpentine<\/strong>: This is the <strong>perfect substitute<\/strong> for mineral spirits if you&#8217;re looking for a <strong>paint thinner<\/strong>. However, it&#8217;s <strong>significantly stronger<\/strong> and <strong>more<\/strong> <strong>toxic<\/strong> than mineral spirits, so you need to be <strong>extremely careful when using<\/strong> it.<\/li><li><strong>Oil Soaps<\/strong>: These are cleaners specifically <strong>formulated for use on wooden<\/strong> <strong>surfaces<\/strong>. They are <strong>milder<\/strong> than mineral spirits but are extremely <strong>effective<\/strong> <strong>at <\/strong>cleaning finished wood. That said, depending on how dirty your wood surface is, you <strong>may<\/strong> <strong>need<\/strong> to invest in <strong>a stronger option<\/strong>. If you&#8217;re looking for an oil soap for your wood surfaces, I recommend&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0006ZHCK0\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=woodiswood-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B0006ZHCK0&amp;linkId=075e2813277c0fe6f64e4cac1a8a126c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Murphy&#8217;s Oil Soap<\/a>&nbsp;from Amazon \u2013 it&#8217;s one of the best-known names in the industry and is made with <strong>98% natural ingredients<\/strong>.

They&#8217;re also great for <strong>renewing old finishes<\/strong>, <strong>removing excess oil from oily woods<\/strong>, and <strong>highlighting <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/woodiswood.com\/how-to-make-wood-grain-stand-out-enhance-and-expose\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wood grain<\/a> to make woodworking easier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because they are a relatively <strong>gentle solvent<\/strong>, you can use them on <strong>finished wood<\/strong> <strong>without<\/strong> worrying about <strong>losing<\/strong> the <strong>finish<\/strong>.
