How to Easily Clean Your Baseboards, Doors and Trim

[@raincitywoman]

Hi Brandon - Can you do a video or overview of what we should be cleaning in our homes on a daily, weekly, monthly basis, etc? I know its different for everyone but a baseline would be so helpful coming from a professional like yourself and I respect your input.

[@mgillespie8306]

I am cleaning a rental that was used hard. You have become my go-to for deep cleaning ideas on a budget. Thanks for making my job easier. I am learning a ton.

[@ryanbyers5050]

Thank you! Once I found your channel I went looking through all your past videos looking for baseboard and trim cleaning tips!

[@PASwiftUTube]

I envy the fact you can reach the tops of the doors. At barely 5 feet tall it’s up and down ladders for me!😮‍💨

[@lesliedefilippis2150]

Yes! I am 73 yrs old. And am 4'11". Plus I have two flights of stairs that require me to use at least 100 times a day due to my house layout. All that climbing exhausts me much faster when I was 60

[@lesliedefilippis2150]

I also have dark wood stained floor and ceiling mounding and baseboards. Which require polishing!

[@sairalovesfilm]

Best. Video. Ever. My baseboards were driving me crazy.

[@esampson2369]

Just this minute (I kid you not) I thought of asking your advice on trim and baseboards. And your video on the subject pops up. Uncanny! ❤

You're right about cleaning you have good mum to teach you how to keeping your home clean. I never use dusting dry cloth firstly using dry cloth just spreading dust around i don't like seeing dust

Yes. Love to change my water often! Thank u!

The Swiffer heavy duty dusters (the yellow ones) pick up alot more dust. I use them at housecleaning jobs with dogs

Great tips ! Have a great weekend

[@patricknelson]

Now, if only I could hire someone like you in my area to clean my big ole’ house (once I realize how much work this is)…

[@lovethosebudgies66]

The house I moved into recently has slightly grubby baseboards (job not done yet). I can't bend down much so those are great tips! I may have to do a couple passes with the cleaner. I did the vacuuming and dusting to no avail. I actually am not impressed with Swiffer dusters. The only purpose I find them sometimes useful for is dusting knickknacks without moving everything, and electronics.

[@HUNGLE-lb4bf]

Thank you so much !

[@vikkigaines9836]

I have just adopted you into my family. Thank you for linking the tools! Quick question. I work in healthcare and love aromatherapy. Would adding the Dawn Calm beads to the water cleaner mix mess up anything when cleaning the walls?

[@emmsue1053]

That was brilliant, thank you.. You guys never seem to have pipework running along the top of baseboards, its a freaking nightmare!

[@blueskysailing]

Wow! Nice job! I bet your house is spotless. I'm going to try some of your ideas. Thanks! 🙋

[@esampson2369]

My trim (I have tons) is oak with clear varnish. Should I use water/dawn/Murphy oil OR water/Murphy oil only. The stand-up options are great for seniors.

[@suzannakoizumi8605]

Thanks. I am considering vacuuming the baseboards. I hate to clean.

[@Diana-wq4ko]

I love your tips! Always helpful. I was wondering if you had any tips for cleaning the inner corners of baseboards?

[@HeronCoyote1234]

The baseboard method with the dry or wet cloth on a broom or duster: could that method be used on blinds? I can’t take mine down, so bath soaking is out.

[@yoadrianne466]

Just had our hardwood floors refinished and Murphy oil soap is a no-no as it breaks down the finish.

[@jasmynmadison5984]

Crap is always getting caught in the caulk above my baseboards. It drives me crazy 😤

[@brandonsnuffer4725]

What would you recommend for cleaning the baseboards in a room that someone never cleaned because the were bed ridden

[@flowersafeheart]

And in another video you said it's risky to use Magic Eraser or similar on flat wall paint but ok gently on glossy paint. Luckily I think I have heard baseboards and doords tend to be glossy paint.

[@ScottyCaveman]

I appreciate the information.

[@almasandhu9895]

What kind of flat mop do you use? Is it stiffer? I’d really like to know 😊

[@meriboberi]

Lazy person question: What if I don't rinse the doors and baseboards after I wipe them down with the cleaner? Is that a necessary step?

[@cheeksmcgill9858]

For method 2, how did you secure the microfiber towel to the swiffer pole? txs

[@tf4606]

Go back and watch again.

[@maggiekelley259]

The trick with the broom is awesome and I'm going to use it right now. Reason is below but it's a bit... Ouch. I have massive back issues and bending in some ways causes bones in my spine to rub together, specifically my neck vertebrae. It causes a massive migraine and damage. I need to do a whole move out clean in a month, so this is going to help so much!!

[@kalayne6713]

If at all possible, get a well known professional cleaning company in. Save your body if you can afford it. These deep cleans at the end of a lease can be a scam, I speak from a very stressful experience where I was nearly taken to the rental tribunal, but I had all my emails showing my willingness to pay and the threatening, character assassination attempts of the real estate agency, so they backed off.It was a miracle. Take care. From Australia.

[@erinmaclean5064]

​@CleanThatUp I used a magic eraser on my window sills and a year or two later the paint cracked and peeled. Was that the cleaner in the name brand sponge, or will all melamine do that to trim paint?

[@vintagelady1]

Gee I never would have thought of using a duster or getting down on my hands & knees with a rag! Radical! I was so totally blown away I couldn't manage to watch the rest of the video. OK, to be fair, the rubber band around the broom was a great idea, except that it tends to just slide off when you dampen the cloth.

[@mrss4328]

How about just vinegar and water and no soap then you don’t have to rinse?

[@MsSimpleMovies]

Soap is good for breaking chemical bonds, like ones in the substances on the baseboards. I'm not sure vinegar would do the same.

[@erinnstreeter]

For those of us who are calendar-oriented: how often would you schedule this cleaning task? Every quarter? (Maybe any cleaning task should be based first on the level of unclean something is, but it would be good to have a general idea of how often is typical for this one.)

[@daniellecomeau2996]

I came here to comment.And was gonna ask him for a cleaning schedule so that nothing becomes A.Deep cleaning issue,

[@lmack6596]

I guess it's up to you, how quickly your baseboards get dirty, and how much time& enjoy you have. For jobs like this - after I've cleaned them I guess when they will need cleaning again (e.g. 3months) and schedule that. But then I tweak it - so if after 2months, they're really dirty I know I need to do it more often than I thought. Or, if after three months, they still look fine, then I'll leave it for another month or 2. I'm slowly learning how often I need to clean different things in my home! 🧹✨

What about washing walls? My apartment has this weird chalky type paint and I’m scared to change the color wiping with the wrong products…

Good question! Sounds like you might have flat paint and sometimes it’s best to just spot clean those types of walls. I actually just uploaded a full step by step video on wall washing (perfect timing! 🙂) How to Easily Wash Your Walls kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZDIq3t6g8R_ZpY
