You can use a sponge or a damp cloth with mild soap and water. You should remove the dust, dirt and grease from the wood. On the other hand, if you use outdoor wood or old wood, you should use specialized cleaners.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you clean the wood, you should wait until the wood dries completely.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, you should fill the holes and cracks. You can use wood fillers. You can apply the filler with a knife and smooth it out to match the wood\u2019s surface. Also, you should wait until it dries.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After that, you should sand the wood. You should do this because you have to remove rough spots.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can start with medium- grit sandpaper and you can finish with a finer grit.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are working on a large surface, you can use electric sanders.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, you should use a coat of primer to seal the wood and provide a solid surface.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should choose a high- quality primer and it should be suitable for painting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this point, you can use a brush or roller.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, you should allow the primer to dry completely as per the instructions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your primer dries, you can sand the surface.
