The 4-Step Method For Spotless Baseboards—No Bending Over Required!
May 9, 2022
In many households, baseboards can be a nightmare when cleaning is due. Wiping them is not a problem, but bending over or getting down to your knees to reach them can hurt your knees and back.
Is there a better way to clean the floor trim without much effort? Short answer: yes!
If you want to take care of this chore as comfortably as possible, here’s how to clean your baseboards in a few steps.
How to clean your baseboards without bending over
Cleaning your baseboards doesn’t have to be painful. Here is a four-step method focused on comfort—try it and feel the difference!
Step 1: Make your cleaning solution
Baseboards don’t need expensive products to look spotless, so why not make your DIY cleaners? Besides, you’ll save money in the process. Here are two effective cleaning solutions you can make in minutes.
White Vinegar: Its acidic properties make vinegar a powerful natural cleaner, and it’s convenient because you only need a spray bottle, white vinegar, and water. Mix equal parts of vinegar and warm water inside the container to make this cleaner.
Water and soap: Fill a bucket with water and add just a few drops of dish soap. This option has a more pleasant smell than vinegar, but you’ll need to rinse the baseboards after cleaning.
Step 2: Dust your baseboard
You’ll avoid streaks by taking dust out of the baseboards. Brooms are excellent, but vacuum cleaners are the best tool for this task. If you can get a vacuum cleaner with an extension wand and a brush attachment, no speck of dirt and debris will stand a chance.
To thoroughly vacuum the baseboards, go in repeated motions and slowly, so the vacuum cleaner can pick everything up.
Step 3: Clean the baseboard
When washing baseboards, the softest tool you can use is a microfiber cloth. However, since we’re trying to avoid straining your joints, getting down on your knees might not be an option.
Instead, use this quick hack:
- Wrap a microfiber cloth around a broom and keep everything in place with two rubber bands.
- To clean your baseboards, you can dip the broom in the mix you choose or spray it directly on the surface.
- Wipe the baseboards from bottom to top so you can catch any pesky drips of water that otherwise would leave streaks.
Step 4: Work on the details
After wiping the baseboards, use a magic eraser to tackle minor details that might stick out (don’t do it too roughly, or it’ll scrape the surface). If the stains are tough, consider sitting in a comfortable position to scrub them away.
How does it sound to clean your baseboards just once or twice a year? Dryer sheets can add a nice coating that prevents hairs and dust from sticking to your baseboards. You can fix the dryer sheet to a flat mop and rub the baseboards without bending over.
