1. Gather your cleaning supplies. There are several things you'll need to clean a Formica countertop before painting, because you have to remove grease and sand the surface before you can paint. To clean and prepare the counter, you'll need: Bucket Grease-cutting cleanser Sponge or scrub pad 150-grit sandpaper Vacuum Damp rag or cloth Dry rag or cloth
2. Clear everything off the counter. In order to paint your counter properly, you need to completely clear the surface. Remove any appliances, dinnerware, food, storage containers, plants, and decorations that are on the counter and store them elsewhere. You can store items in cupboards, pantries, on the kitchen table, or in the basement or garage. Do not store items on the floor around where you'll be working.
3. Remove the sink. To protect the sink from paint and cleaning products, it's best to remove the sink from the counter. Start by shutting off the water supply to the sink. Before you remove the sink, you'll also have to remove the faucet. Use a wrench to unscrew the nuts attaching the faucet to the water supply. Remove the pipe, unscrew the nuts holding the faucet in place, and remove the faucet. Use a screwdriver to remove the long screws attaching the sink to the counter. Disconnect the sink from the water supply and drain pipes. Loosen the sink from the counter with a screwdriver if necessary, and remove the sink. If removing the sink isn't an option, cover the basin and sides of the sink with plastic, and tape the plastic in place.
4. Wipe down the counter with a degreasing cleanser. With a sponge or scrubbing pad, clean the entire surface of your counter with a grease-fighting cleanser. When you're done, wipe the counter down with a clean, damp rag to remove leftover dirt, grease, and cleanser. Then wipe the counter with a dry rag and let it air dry for 30 minutes. Good grease-fighting cleansers for this job include: Trisodium phosphate: In a bucket, mix ½ cup (4 ounces) of TSP with ½ gallon (1.9 L) of water Denatured alcohol Ammonia-based cleaners, such as oven, all-purpose, and glass and window cleaners
