Hi Jay
This is the product I would use to remove CV.

There is no afterwash needed and it will not raise the grain of the wood. Do not sand after the stripping or you will create another problem LOL.
It clings to vertical surfaces too.
It will be easiest to remove all doors or drawers and do as much as you can in the garage. The case cannot be moved but make sure you mask off all areas around the cabinet to avoid damaging them.
And cover the floor well.
Start your stripping on the removable pieces in the garage to get the feel of the job.
Please read and follow all directions on the can.
Good Luck with this.
