Hand rails need to be checked before putting your home for sale. The first order of business is to ensure that they are safe, do not wobble and can be used by the Buyers. If parts are broken or missing, replace them. After you have are sure that you will not be sued by an injured Buyer, then look for ways to clean and tart them up.

Metal – If the rails are rusty and/ or peeling, use a wire brush to get out the rust and paint smoothed. Wash. Spray paint. Always protect yourself and the stairs with plastic.
Vinyl – Wash the railings. If very dirty, use car wash soap.
Wood – Wash. Sand. Wash. Stain or paint. Again, protect yourself and the steps from drips.

Rally round safety and appeal.
