Just my two cents' worth: consider using steam. A heat gun can easily burn fine details like that, which is irreversible damage. Heat guns also vaporize the lead in lead paint, and even if you wear a respirator, the fine lead dust travels a long way and settles on everything. Chemical paint strippers soak into the wood, so if you want to stain, varnish, or lacquer the wood later on, the absorbed stripper can mess with the adhesion of the stain/varnish. A steam generator produces moist heat, so the lead in the paint doesn't vaporize. The paint that you remove becomes sodden and falls straight to the floor. It can't burn the wood or start a fire. And it's REALLY effective. I've tried all three methods and in my experience, steam gets the paint off fastest and cleanest. It's really effective on multiple layers of paint, just peels of like a big thick ribbon once you get the hang of it. Using steam can raise the grain of the wood, so if you notice the wood starting to get rough as you scrape it, just take a break until it dries out. Invest in a good detail scraper that you pull toward yourself, not one that you push away from yourself. I'm including a link to a Youtube video from John Leeke. He specializes in restoring old windows, but the principle is the same for wood trim. You can read more about steam paint removal at www.historichomeworks.com. I'm not affiliated with John Leeke or Historic Homeworks, but he's a personal guru of mine. :) A decent steam generator is kind of a big-ticket tool (around $150 I think) but useful for all kinds of things: paint stripping, window work, steaming wrinkles out of garments, stripping wallpaper, and even steam-cleaning your floor!

Yep, we use Swiffer, the kind on the extendable handle. Those suckers really reach, and seem to counteract at least some of the electricity. Good for ceiling fans and top of fridge, too. IIRC, I once saw my housekeeper mist hers with Static Cling, but I don't remember what, specifically, she was cleaning that time. Good luck.

I was afraid someone would suggest that. We just got them out except for punch list and want to finally move back to our master suite. Almost every time they fix something, they ruin something else. This happened because the medicine cabinet door had no groove by which to open it. I assume that they had to touch up the finish when they routed the groove, thus spraying the mirror. I don't know how these people get from their house to the car.

I get NONE, except for lemons on my meyer for my fish dinners and a few Oro grapefruit which I give to my boss for letting me bring to work. lol. Literally, there is not a one that deserves any of my fruit since NO ONE helps me care for them, nor are interested in my trees..I don't even eat citrus. I grow them for fragrance. I am getting a new tree, a Kishu which I can eat and I am hoping I get lots of of that. As for the other 30 or so trees, I pluck every fruit off before they can even grow, except for my lemon meyer which I use on my fish, saying about 4 pounds and my Oro, about 6 lbs..
