It is on door facings and wain scotting. I was not sure how to go about cleaning it up.
yes use primer first
You can paint it using a good primer / paint (latex based). Though you will want to evenly and carefully sand the entire piece to "rough" the surface. Using 0000 steel wool may be all that is necessary rather than more abrasive sandpaper. Recommend wearing gloves with steel wool. Nothing like a few metal slivers in your fingers to ruin your day.
