Haha. Good one, OP

I found that idiotic brush attachment on the vacuum does an acceptable job. I still see it building up in the corners, though. When I had a cleaning service, they used a damp rag to wipe the baseboards down every time they came. I loved those ladies. I had to drop them for budget reasons.

For a quick clean I use a dryer sheet to wipe the baseboards. I use clorox wipes every other week.

A mop? This would inevitably get mop water on my painted wall.


No it's like this, but round and on a stick. You do it dry.

Ah ok, thanks. I thought that was a snark post.

I vacuum my baseboards with a dyson handheld vacuum with the soft brush.

If needed, I take a Mr Clean Magic Eraser to quickly clean dirt.

Ugh, they are the worst. A swiffer (on the long handle, like for fans) is my regular item but every couple months I get out rags and wipe them down. There just is no substitute for the pressure you can put into it with your arm and ability to get in the nooks of the trim. No need to do that weekly though, the swiffer does a decent job for weekly cleaning.

I do mine about monthly or every other month. They really don't get that dirty. It's a pretty easy job though, especially if the paint is new and semi gloss.

Haha - I'm pregnant with my first. Something to look forward to while I'm trying to rock a crying baby back to sleep at 2am, I suppose.

Are you really wiping all your baseboards and molding down every single week?! Am I the only one who isn't on hands and knees every week? If I'm being honest, I do this maybe once every 2 months... I vacuum otherwise, but it doesn't get all the dust off the baseboards.
