Thumbs up easier way to remove gloss finish

I have a chest of drawers that was painted and painted with gloss and it takes an age to sand off. Can I use white spirit on it first or something. I know there is a paint remover but I don't want to spend any money doing it. I have loads of white spirit to spare and not much elbow grease! Cheers

Not being familiar with white spirit, I must demur. Paint stripper will be the easiest and fastest way to remove the old paint.

I got some paint stripper and it did ok, i still had to sand the white colour off it though. I bought a power sander! Lazy or what. It is finished now though and looks the business.
