Just paint them every five years.
or another alternative is a Bona Hardwood floor or floor mop style cleaner. You can get the duster and also it should come with a attachable thingy that you can get wet with their either Hardwood floor cleaner or Stone etc Floor cleaner.
They also have an attachable duster you can buy separately. Dust the molding with it or if you want to clean spray the wettable cover with Bona Hardwood floor cleaner and run along the baseboard. If you dust first you won't leave behind wet dirt on the molding and it will go quicker and look sharper. You should be able to throw both the Bona attachable duster and floor washer in the washer and dryer so that makes it easy.
Or you can just wet a rag with Murphy's (Sprayable-so you don't have to spent the time mixing a solution first.) Wood Cleaner and run along the molding. Hope this helps.
Mr Clean’s Magic Eraser, Walmart has a knockoff brand. Why? It cleans fast with plain water, meaning no soap residue. Soap residue attracts dust and dirt.
First of all, there definately is something wrong with being a house husband. Cleaning baseboards while your wife is bringing home the bacon? Seriously? Yeah, that’s not gonna cause any problems in a marriage.
On the other hand, people come in all flavors. For this couple this relationship might just work and traditional roles could well be the screwy option. Hey, it takes all kinds.
Finally...for crying out loud. Give the guy some credit. At least he’s married. To a woman. These days, you really can’t take even that much for granted.
Having said all that...sorry, dude. Hands and knees, scrubber, bucket o’ suds. Unless you’re willing to shell out some cash for some fancy gadgetry just to clean baseboards the tried and true remains tried and true. Thankfully baseboards aren’t something you have to do every day.
But, guy. Don’t ever let her come home from work to find you on your knees scrubbing baseboards. I mean, really. Try to arrange it so’s your chopping firewood or hammering a nail or something, yeah? ;)
Clean baseboards?
Now thats effin’ funny...
Don’t let them get gross in the first place. When you vacuum, run the brush attachment over the top of the baseboard every week, or twice a week, or however often you vacuum. Then once in awhile you can take a damp cloth and quickly wipe them down and there won’t be much badness to wipe up. When it’s time to do a bit more, I spray the baseboards with floor-cleaning solution that’s safe for paint, and wipe.
I declare, these comments are funnier than a barrel of monkeys! These folks should be comedy writers! LOL
Hey, people, thanks for the laughs and hope you all get some work done! LOL
Take the covers off, vacuum baseboard fins, return baseboard covers.
Remove the baseboards and throw them out. Problem solved.
re-paint
belt sander?
I write a check and then go watch TV.
