A question for you wimmins......

[LouAvul]

......who clean your own homes.

How do you clean your baseboards? Crawl around with bucket and sponge or is there some other way?

(I'm a "house husband" and am not too good at this. I still don't do windows.)

you can try the vacuum cleaner hose with the brush attachment. Or my personal favorite tool is the compressed air can - but my husband thinks i’m crazy

[libh8er]

Not a wimmin, but there is only one time tested way.

Now get busy ! :>

shop-vac?

Uh, yup. Thing is, you only do one room at a time, when needed. If while you vaccuum or sweep (depending on what kind of floor covering you have) you dust them each time or at least once a week, with a dry towel, the vaccuum with the brush attachment on, or one of those feather dusters, you will find you don’t have to wash them alot (once or twice a year will suffice, depending on what you have running around in a particular room).

I also keep a can of the paint I used to touch up nicks and scuff marks when they happen. It takes only a minute or two and it really makes a difference.

There ain’t a thing in the world with being a house husband!

Tie dusters to the cat and sprinkle catnip along the baseboards.

swiffer.

REAL MEN clean baseboards. Men (or wimmen)with penis envy make fun of you for doing it.

Leaf blower works well. :)

[Deaf Smith]

You can accomplish a lot with a electric leaf blower.

I’m a male who hates dirty winders so I wash them.

[Never on my watch]

I am trying to imagine what would happen if you posted this on DU or Daily KOS.

Libs would be torn between lavishing praise on you for your wife being out of the house, or hating you for asking women for cleaning advice. Their heads might explode (hey, you should try it!).

Cleaning advice: none.

[TiredofItalltoo]

We’re not blaming it all on Bush anymore???LOL

[sevinufnine]

We’re supposed to clean the base boards?????
