I am looking for a product that will be easy in striping the paint off the doors and woodwork on the inside of my house.. the doors are louvre and collect dust like there is no tomorrow... I thought staining them would be less maintenance...Is there a recommended (not sanding my life away product that will not send me to the poor house) or a product available that you can paint over the is similiar to woodtrim look (without being unattractive)... Looking forward to suggestions

Don't use any strippers that contain methylene chloride unless you have a top of the line respirator ( about $50 ) , chemical gloves, and goggles. Try to find a bio- degradable stripper. These are slower but you won't have the harsh fumes and fire risks of a meth. chlor. stripper. Go to a quality paint store and ask for PEEL AWAY.....it strips up to 50 cts. of paint in one application- it is costly and it too probably stinks.
