Lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper to remove any remaining paint, then wipe with a tac cloth. If you seem to have a lost of sticky residue from the paint remover, try using TSP (but follow the directions carefully, including using gloves and rinsing well).

After the paint has been stripped from the wood, it should be very clean and free of oaint, oil and dirt. You might go over the woodwork with a fine grade sandpaper to remove any trace residue. Work along the grain of the wood. Use a special tool to get into narrow spots or tight areas.

After you strip the paint off the woodwork use a sander or a sheet of sand paper to smooth the wood out and remove any extra paint chips. After you do that you will be able to repaint the wood or stain it.
