Some general ways to clean baseboards

Here’s how to do:

 

1, Vacuum off

Using a vacuum cleaner brush attachment to remove dirt and dust. Make sure to clean the crevice like corners. Don’t have a vacuum? Use DIY cleaning tool, you can use the microfiber cloth on a whisk broom. This method is that you may not have to crawl around on your knees very much.

 

2, Remove Stains

After cleaning dirt and dust, you’re ready to remove stains and buildup. Dip the sponge into the mixture of warm water, liquid dish soap and vinegar. Then scrub away stains and buildup. Make sure wring out sponge thoroughly in case put too much water on the baseboards.  Leaving water might damage the wood. And you can use a tiny groove brush of toothbrush to clean tough grime.
