Wood Shutters. You will want to clean your traditional wood shutters without using a lot of water or any harsh cleaning materials. The best way to clean your wood shutters is using a dusting cloth or brush, a vacuum, and a small brush that you can wet. First you should run the vacuum with the brush attachment over the shutter to grab up most of the dust and dirt.
1 Scrape or sand away any loose and peeling paint.  When the shutter is clean and dry determine if you will need to apply a coat of primer. If repainting a primer will probably not be needed unless the old paint is a oil-based paint and the new paint is latex or acrylic. If so sand the old oil-base coat to remove the gloss and apply a coat of 100% acrylic primer.
