- Latex is water-based paint, so take a very thin rag, put it over the edge of a putty knife and scrape very carefully. It should come off quite easily. Don't rush this job! Take your time and the latex should come off like butter.
- If the paint has a tenacious bond, use some denatured alcohol to slowly dissolve the latex paint.
- If the formica cabinets have been painted with latex paint and you want to remove the entire coat, use a citrus based stripper overnight to remove the paint. Cover the surface with plastic sheeting to concentrate the fumes for a more efficient strip. Rinse with water, reapply if necessary.
