    About the only way is to fill the nicks with wood putty, let dry, then sand and touch up paint.
  • You didn't say if stained / painted & what you were trying to clean but TSP for cleaning is a painters favorite (careful not to get on the carpet) though in many cases just a damp rag might be enough. If it is glue - a razor blade is pretty good at scraping it off followed up by sanding Steps for P/S - lightly sand, use wood putty as mentioned above, lightly sand, wipe down - paint or stain as required
