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

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.

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

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.

From one do-all guy to another: yup, get in there and do it by hand. I actually use “cleaning wipes” (not Clorox, they stain), but it still needs a bunch of elbow grease.

Generally, before I mop the floors, we have all tile or wood for allergies, I run the mop for a liner on the baseboards. It cleans them first. Then I mop the rest of the floor.
With work, school, kids, and all the rest of the things the wife does, helping out in the kitchen and the house reaps benefits later, if you know what I mean.

A clorox wipe will do the job very nicely.
