What happens here
The first step involves preparing the baseboard for caulking and painting. Use a scraping tool, such as a 5-in-1 painter's tool or a putty knife, to carefully remove any old caulk, dried paint drips, dust, or debris from the seam where the top edge of the baseboard meets the wall. This ensures a clean surface for the new caulk to adhere properly.
Goal: Remove old caulk and debris from the baseboard-wall seam.
