Use 220-grit sandpaper to smooth the area further, blending it seamlessly with the surrounding surface.

This will help remove any fine scratches caused by the coarser sandpaper.

If the scraping or sanding has created any dents or gouges in the baseboard, apply wood filler with a putty knife to fill these areas.

Allow the wood filler to dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions, then sand it smooth with 220-grit sandpaper.
