When you have too much to do baseboard cleaning, baseboards are definitely not on your priority list. However, cleaning them from time to time is helpful for maintaining tidiness and a healthy environment. Cleaning your floor doesn’t always do the work for you, so here’s a quick guide on how to clean your baseboards—without straining your back.
In the first place, you can schedule a monthly, dedicated baseboard cleaning. Frequent and preventive maintenance will avoid any hard, long, and tiring process.
The Importance of Clean Baseboards
Baseboards are an often overlooked aspect of home cleaning that can have a big impact on the overall look and feel of your living space. Not only do baseboards collect dust, dirt, and grime over time, but they can also harbor bacteria and allergens that can affect the air quality in your home. This is particularly important for households with young children or individuals with allergies or respiratory issues.

While it may seem like a simple task, cleaning baseboards can be a time-consuming and physically demanding chore, especially for those with mobility issues or busy schedules.

Remember to do your floor cleaning first, as it will help you to pick up any excessive debris.
Let’s clean!
– Vacuuming with the brush attachment will allow removing dust, hair, dust, and any loose dirt. Always remember to put special attention to the floor around the baseboards.
– Spray the baseboards with a cleaning solution; it can be an all-purpose cleaner or a mix of half water and half vinegar. Remember that splashing is not the same as soaking (you don’t want to dampen your walls). When done, wait 10 minutes for the solution to sit before continuing.
– To rinse, there are two ways depending on your disposition and time:
a) Damp a sponge with clean water. Wash the baseboards one by one.
b) Use a mop to clean the baseboards. This is a quicker method, however, if they happen to have stains, you might need to scrub them directly with a sponge or a cloth.
– Let them dry. Also, you can take a new dryer sheet and wipe it over the wood. These sheets have a property (anti-static cling) that will prevent dust to stick to baseboards. This will help you in the long run, because you’ll be able to just vacuum them in the future.
Finally, if your baseboards present hard-to-clean corners that are really dirty, you can use cotton heads to clean them. This will take a fair amount of time, but it0’ll be worth it.
