  • Can I do anything to these stains left by the old handles?
    I’m afraid to sand through the veneer.

  • You’d have to go pretty hard to sand through the veneer, but you’d also have to sand the whole front then re-finish it to make it look any good. Looks like nice cherry veneer though, could be worth it.

    240 grit with an orbital sander, maybe start with 120 if it’s not doing anything. Keep it flat on the face and beware of the edges / corners, that’s where you’ll go through if you do.

  • Wet wipe. See if it removes the marks, if they are dirt/grime.

  • There are techniques which don't use sandpaper but it's very difficult to apply it to a small spot. If you take on the whole drawer front do you need to do the whole cabinet?
