How to clean baseboards without bending over

cleaning baseboard using an extendable dusterThere are a couple of ways you can remove dust from baseboards. The first way is to use an extendable duster to clean the baseboard. An extendable dust cleaner is really good because it can remove any dust from almost any surface. Another way to remove dust from your baseboard is to use a vacuum. The best vacuum to use is one that can have parts added to it. So if you have a vacuum that has a tube-like attachment then use it to suck up the dust from your baseboards. If you don’t have an extendable duster or vacuum with attachments then you can use a big cleaning towel to remove the dust. If you want to clean your baseboard with a towel without bending over then just use one of your legs to navigate the towel over the areas on the baseboard that you want to clean.

Step 2 Make the baseboard cleaning solution

When it’s time to deep clean your baseboards you can either make your own baseboard cleaning solution spray or just use a bucket of warm water. For the second method, all you have to do is get a bucket (half full) with warm water and add 1-2tbs spoon of dish soap into it, preferably dawn dish soap. For the first method, you need to get a spray bottle filled halfway up with warm water. Then add 1 tsp of dawn dish soap and 1/2 – 1 cup of vinegar into it, then shake. Now spray the mixture all over the baseboards.

Step 3 Time to clean the baseboards

Dip the mop inside the bucket of water or spray the baseboard cleaner all over the baseboard (make sure the mop is damp). THen use the mop to clean everywhere on the baseboards. Make sure you clean the hard-to-reach areas. Now for the second method, you need to follow my instructions carefully.

Get a broom and place a clean microfiber cleaning cloth around the broom bristles. Make sure the cloth covers up the front and the back of the broom bristles. THen use 1-3 elastic bands to hold the cloth on the broom so that it won’t fall off. Now spray the baseboard cleaner all over the baseboard or dip the tip of the broom inside the bucket of water then use it to wipe down the baseboards. Make sure to clean every baseboard in the house such as the ones in your room, bathroom, on the stairs, etc.
