Hi Rose, if its been painted you may have to strip it and sand it down first. You can purchase gray as well as white wash stains now that I've seen work great!
If it's in good shape and you are going to paint over it, you can clean with denatured alcohol after scuffing the paint with steel wool. Then prime and paint.
If there is a shiny finish, it will need to be removed.

To paint or stain?
If you are planning to paint it, you might want to consider chalk paint. It requires no priming and is very easy to work with.
