If my kids have been on a good streak, I run a Clorox wipe along the most visible floor boards (I don't move furniture). It takes 5-10 minutes.

It's a treat in my house! If you're really good, I'll get you an old toothbrush and a container of mildly soapy water (very dilute dish soap in water) and let you clean the baseboards.
