THE BEST WAY TO CLEAN BASEBOARDS

Cleaning the baseboards can seem like a lot of extra work, but it doesn't have to be. Just remember to give them a quick vacuum when you've finished cleaning your floors!

VACUUM CLEANER

Ideally, you should wipe the baseboards down once you're finished with the vacuum cleaner. But if you're vacuuming regularly, you only need to wipe down occasionally.

Microfiber cloths are soft and gentle, good if you want to clean the baseboards and don't want to damage the walls.

MICROFIBER CLOTHS

You can purchase microfiber cloths at the end of long handles and save the effort of bending down to clean the baseboards.

This won't give the boards a thorough clean, but this quick wipe stops dust from building up. If you want a deeper clean, start with a dry wipe, then spray the cloth with your cleaner of choice, and give the baseboards another brush.

The house should be cleaned from the top down, as that's how the dust settles. Give your baseboards a brush over before you vacuum, and then you can pick up the remaining dust as you clean the floor.

BRUSHES OR BROOMS

Baseboards can get stained, especially if someone in your household uses them to get their shoes off. The magic eraser really does feel magical on this occasion, as it can get rid of those stains in moments.

MAGIC ERASERS

Mix together some warm water and dish soap, and dip your magic eraser. Buff out any stains, and dry with a microfiber cloth. The magic eraser is perhaps the most thorough method for regularly cleaning the baseboards.

If time is of the essence or the air is too damp for easy drying, then it's ok to use a hairdryer as long as you use its cooler settings. Too much heat could damage the structural integrity of the filter and its frame, making it warp out of shape and no longer fit into the unit.
