Best & Easiest Baseboard Cleaning Tips
Best and easiest baseboard cleaning tips. When I clean my baseboards I do it the old fashioned way by first dusting or vacuuming the baseboards (a good shop vac works the best). Household pests like cockroaches, spiders, and mites, like to hide behind baseboards and vacuuming the baseboards will quickly remove them from cracks and crevices. Then I use a mixture of 1/4 cup white vinegar to 1 gal. of water or I use a few squirts of dish soap and hot water (whichever I have on hand) and wash with a sponge then dry with a microfiber cloth. This method works very well but can get messy if you are not careful.
The quickest way to clean baseboards is to steam clean cracks and crevices and wipe them down.
However, I found out another, easy way to clean baseboards from cleaning expert Amy Bates (See Below) and am very anxious to share it with you. Her method works great for base boards which are maintained regularly, is much quicker, easier, less messy, and it is a great way to recycle old dryer sheets or a magic eraser. The one problem with this method is that you don't get the benefits of steam cleaning or vacumming out any hidden pests, dust or mold that may have gotten through small cracks and crevices.
