Best Ways on How to Clean Baseboards

To scrub the baseboard, you will require some type of cleaner. Start with a soapy solution. If it does not seem effective, try these clever tricks and tips.

  1. Once you have wiped the baseboards clean, use a fabric softener sheet to wipe them again. This action creates a static charge which prevents the dust particles from adhering to the baseboards.
  2. Use automobile wax to prevent the dust particles from clinging on the baseboards. Apply the wax on the just-cleaned baseboards, and wipe them to make that area smooth. This application of wax reduces the surface tension on the baseboards, and the dust particles will not stick there easily. Wherever the dust particles settle can be easily cleaned with a simple vacuuming.
  3. You can make an effective cleaning solution by mixing one cup white vinegar and five cups of water. Dip a rag in this solution and clean the baseboards.
  4. When working with any cleaning solution on how to clean baseboards, always wear gloves to protect your hands from caustic chemicals.
  5. Accidental inhaling, consuming, or touching of these cleaning solutions can be hazardous; to avoid this, keep small kids away from the work area, and store the solutions in a child-proof location.

Now that you know the best way on how to clean baseboards, keeping this area neat and tidy will be a breeze. To learn more about making your own household cleaners, please read “Bleach Solutions for House Cleaning.”
