Baseboards collect dust better than shelves, but you don\u2019t have to clean them on your knees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts recommend using convenient cleaning methods that will save you effort. One simple option is a mop with a long or telescopic handle. Add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to a bucket of warm water, soak the mop, wring it out thoroughly, and gently wipe along the baseboards. Then, use a dry cloth to wipe. According to the president of Molly Maid, dishwashing liquid effectively removes dirt without damaging the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For hard-to-reach places, such as decorative baseboards, a vacuum cleaner with a brush, melamine sponge, or microfiber cloth is suitable. You should not leave detergent residues on the baseboards, as they lead to the accumulation of a new layer of dust. The Dashing Maids expert emphasizes that it is essential to wipe everything thoroughly after wet cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To reduce the frequency of cleaning, it is recommended to wipe the baseboards weekly, especially if they are covered with glossy paint. To prevent dust from settling, you can use anti-static wipes. Cracks and scratches are best filled with putty, sanded, and then painted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t wait until the baseboard is covered with gray dust,\u201d advises the expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regular cleaning is much easier than a general cleaning once a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
