How to Clean Baseboards Without Breaking Your Back

The Forgotten Trim

Baseboards accumulate dust, pet hair, and scuff marks, but they are often neglected because cleaning them usually involves crawling around on your hands and knees.

Back-Saving Cleaning Methods

1. The Broom and Towel Method

Take a clean microfiber cloth and wrap it around the bristles of a broom, securing it with a rubber band. You can lightly spray the cloth with an all-purpose cleaner and simply walk around the room, sweeping the baseboards clean while standing up.

2. Use Dryer Sheets

If you are willing to bend down, wipe your baseboards with a dryer sheet. Not only does it pick up the dust, but the anti-static properties of the dryer sheet actually repel future dust from settling.

3. Magic Erasers for Scuffs

For shoe scuffs and tough marks, a damp Magic Eraser works wonders. Just rub gently so you don't remove the paint.

Detailing baseboards throughout an entire house can take hours. Professional cleaning services, like B&B Cleaning 360, include baseboard dusting in standard cleans and wet-wiping in deep cleans. Paying for a professional service means you get a meticulously clean house without the backache.
