How to Clean Baseboards the Easy Way (Professional Tips)

[@mrspunk61]

As a painter we have to clean baseboards and trim all the time, Krud Cutter works great. It's amazing how if you just cleaned the baseboards they look almost like you just painted them. The paint also sticks much better and many time a single coat will do the job. Skip this step and the paint often has nothing to grip to

@@bossysimon900 If you’re just looking to clean something I would probably use Fantastic, Krud Cutter definitely cleans but it also removes that gunk layer so it could leave a dull finish on flooring. I tried washing windows one time and it leaves a film

I cover my broom with a cleaning cloth that is fixed to the broom and spray the cloth with cleaner to damp mop/dust my base boards..then throw cloth into the cleaning rag wash load...(I have lots of rags and reuse over and over- very old school and environmentally sound)

Yes! My back isn’t great and my one knee is awful, so less bending over is perfect❤️

[@cbow5582]

A swiffer like mop is excellent for baseboards! The stick is just as long as a broom and it bends up against the baseboards. You can dry dust or wet clean with it. I found a really good one at a Dollar tree store with the washable pads. The stick, swivel head and a few pads were only $5!

[@adelinas.7335]

Yes! No one talks about baseboards but I literally notice it whenever I visit someone’s home or place or business. I can’t help but notice it! I’m so glad how you described as the hallmark of a clean place.

Swiffer has extender handles as well (instead of the short handheld). They market them for hard-to-reach places like ceiling fans, but it works great for low areas without bending as well.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

YES! The Swiffer 6ft is my preference over the 3 ft extender. If you are going to get one or the other, go with the 6ft - the handle is better and the head is more durable.

I just bought some Krud Kutter. It’s great on baseboards (been 🤔 since they were cleaned). I also, just for giggles, tried it on my filthy, ground in, nothing seems to work, floor grout. Holy cow! With no scrubbing, the grout is a heck of a lot cleaner and lighter than it was! I just sprayed, wiped, and rinsed with water and a clean cloth. I can’t wait to tackle the other bathroom floors!

[@debbie7771]

I wrap a microfiber cloth from the $1 store around the broom with a rubber band. I’ll sometimes spritz it with a little pledge. It’s no bending at all and gets in corners and edges perfectly just like a broom would. The microfiber grabs the dust like a dream and you don’t need a separate tool.

I am new to this channel and I am not a pro. I have a difficult affective disorder and I discovered to my surprise that cleaning is very therapeutic and meditative so now I really enjoy doing it. I am in no hurry so I have the luxury of spending time on the task which aids mindfulness. I do not have OCD, germophopia and I am not really a perfectionist but baseboards have always been my pet peeve and obviously most people ignore them even while keeping the floors spotless. I have four big dogs so a perfect showroom home is not really possible at all times, but I love learning from pros and this channel offers me interesting glimpses to the actual vocation. Thanks!

I had my own housecleaning business when I was young and I'm a big fan of using the dusting vacuum attachment to clean non-greasy baseboards before vacuuming the rest of the room. Any time we can remove dust and prevent just moving dust around (settling elsewhere later) is a good thing. Thanks for a fun, informative video.

( Also have a bad disc in my low bk, so wear a support belt). At home, I have a steam mop, so I use the front of that on my baseboards. Just did it this morning actually! I've also used Swiffer or Bona mops this way at clients homes.

[@amystrickland6876]

“The hallmark of a good housekeeper are clean baseboards.” So glad you said that. I interviewed two highly recommended ones last year when our business was extra busy (yes, during COVID). They looked at me like I had two heads and had highly insulted them when I asked them to figure doing baseboards twice per month in their fee. I decided to hire no one because of it. That being said, I’m now playing catch-up in my own home, while also trying to live in it during remodeling. It’s a tad overwhelming!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Remodeling is definitley overwhelming and the clean up is not easy. Take it one day at a time...you got this!

[@77lissaable]

Amy, I’ve been cleaning houses for 15 years…. your baseboards should be dusted every clean, now if you want them wet washed or a magic eraser used on them, that’d be on a deep clean. I know, I’ve been extra busy since covid as well and I’m still playing catch-up as well 😩, after 60-70 hours cleaning others homes and offices, I’m too tired to clean my own 😂

[@arwenrosalie3031]

I do ceiling fans, baseboards, light fixtures EVERY time in every room. Make sure you have this in mind when you clean. All together it does not take 5 min each room. Whether they look or feel clean or not just make it a rule and do it anyway. THAT will make your work noticeable!

[@bosslady1973]

Do you have a way to clean ceiling fans without making a huge mess?

[@Mini56er]

Boss Lady use a pillowcase....I spray the inside of a king size pillowcase lightly with cleaner (I prefer Armstrong Multi-Surface) then place the fan blade inside the pillowcase & use hands on each side of fan blade to clean....all the dust stays inside the pillowcase. Hope this makes sense, easy to do but hard for me to explain.

You're welcome. I don't always have awesome energy lol. Thank you for watching. 🙂

Never thought about the attachment that comes with the vacuum. thanks Angela!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

You are so welcome, happy to help!

[@Tiff-vi9kx]

I swear by the swiffer and the magic easer. Use the extended stick if you can’t bend down. Also, using a dryer sheet right after keeps them clean longer.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the dryer sheet tip!

[@amandapanda4036]

A used dryer sheet or new one?

[@Tiff-vi9kx]

@@amandapanda4036 new. The layer of fabric softener does something somehow.

Hi Angela! You’re awesome and I’ve learned a lot from you which helps me in my business, so, thank you! My mom always said, if the baseboards are dirty the whole house looks dirty! You’re absolutely right about frequency! Cleaning is a daily endeavor but made easier by keeping it clean which it’s always easier to maintain something rather than spend hours scrubbing etc. Baseboards can get filthy unless cleaned at least biweekly.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you!

[@kerrihiggins2106]

I vacuum every day, I have a few things I do daily, but I usually focus specifically on a section of the house each day and that is when I clean the baseboards. Typically I use the attachment on my vacuum or the mop as I go (🙈) haha. That microfiber thing you used at the end is amazing and would save my back! Looks much quicker too. I prefer anything that is more efficient and can cut my time down. Going to give that a try!!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

It sounds like you do a great job keeping things tidy around the house. I love my microfiber towels. Here are the ones I like to use: www.amazon.com/dp/B07GX7GLGQ?ref=exp_angelabrown_dp_vv_d They work great for me 😊

[@aolsweetsew]

My Momma tricked me into using my play mop to dust the baseboards. Once I was in school, she continued to use that play mop. Saved her back. (This was back in the day when a cannister vacuum was extremely cumbersome.)

[@AskAngelaBrown]

I love your mom's creativity. Go Mom! LOL.

Krud Kutter is now one of my favourite chemicals. Its so versatile! I love the brush method, which works great for balcony edges too.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing your use of the product, I appreciate it!

[@marissameza1787]

Take a bucket with cleaning solution (any type) as if to mop but instead use a broom. You do not have to bend down and it scrubs it right off. I bought one of those all plastic brooms that I keep stored away to use for baseboards only.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing!

[@m.harris2429]

Angela, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I have been avoiding cleaning the baseboards because I wasn't sure how...I plan to do them today and will follow your advice to clean them everytime I vacuum. I liked and subscribed.❤

About dust settling on baseboards: "I KNOW!!! It's AWESOME, RIGHT???" Had to hit the Like.

LOL. So it's weird talking to a camera lens without an audience. I have to imagine you in my head having a conversation with me, and then I respond. I even have to laugh at my own jokes. Ah, the things I give myself permission to do to get through every day. Thanks for the conversation. I appreciate you. :-)

Hi Angela, I am a former medical biller/Coding and licensed Esthetician. I am serious about starting my cleaning business soon. Thank you so very much for your wisdom and for educating us on what to do and not to do. you have a selfless heart. All the advice and tips you've shared would have cost thousands of dollars if I were to go house cleaning training. In 1993 I cleaned my brother's janitorial business in a commercial building /I am nervous when it's time for me to clean my first client's home, not being able to get the stain off the oven, etc, The client might be mad I take too long to clean lol...Practice makes better ... I asked my family if they would let me clean their house. Merry Christmas

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Congratulations on your new cleaning business. You will be spectacular! What a great idea to clean the home of family members. This is a good way to get practice - and you will also need practice asking for money and doing walkthroughs. Ask if you can practice on your family and then show up and pretend they are customers and have them ask you questions a customer would ask. Congratulations on your new cleaning business. You will be spectacular!

[@jdsheleg8332]

My mother taught me to clean the baseboards before vacuuming! She would be proud of you too! Thank you for your YT Channel it's refreshing to see someone teaching how to clean! My grandmother taught my mom how to wash floors the correctway...when corners are washed, a pointed knife will clean the corners to make a floor sparkle! I've always noticed others homes with "Built Up" black Dirt packed in the corners! I was taught washing the floor on my knees! Blessings!

[@stormy8092]

I take a room at a time, put on knee pads (pink ones from Walmart), mix up a small bucket (1 gallon size from Lowe's), of Mr. Clean and water with a microfiber cloth and away I go. The hard part is moving the furniture out and then back. That is much more taxing than the actual cleaning. I use knee pads because my knee hurt easily. ;-). I usually do one room per day. I don't make it a big chore by doing a whole house. Take your time. It will be there tomorrow.
