How to Clean White Baseboards? When was the last time you cleaned your baseboards? If you have white baseboards, you know that they tend to show dust and dirt a little easier.

Check these tips:

Materials you will need:

1. Cleaning solution: You can use a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap or a commercial all-purpose cleaner.
2. Microfiber cloth or sponge: These are gentle on the baseboards and won’t leave lint behind.
3. Soft-bristle brush or an old toothbrush: This will help you clean crevices and corners.
4. Bucket: To hold your cleaning solution.
5. Lint-free cloth or paper towels: For drying.

Steps to clean white baseboards:

1. Prepare the area: Remove any furniture or obstacles that may be blocking access to the baseboards. This will make cleaning easier and more thorough.
2. Dust: Use a soft-bristle brush or an old toothbrush to gently remove dust and loose debris from the baseboards. Start at the top and work your way down to prevent dust from falling onto already cleaned areas.
3. Mix the cleaning solution: Fill a bucket with warm water and add a small amount of mild dish soap or your chosen all-purpose cleaner. Be careful not to make the solution too strong, as excessive soap can leave a residue.
4. Test a small area: Before cleaning the entire baseboard, test your cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous section to ensure it doesn’t cause any discoloration or damage.
5. Clean the baseboards: Dip a microfiber cloth or sponge into the cleaning solution and wring it out so it’s damp but not soaking wet. Wipe down the baseboards, starting from one end and moving to the other. Apply gentle pressure to remove dirt and stains, but avoid excessive scrubbing, which can damage the paint.
6. Pay attention to corners and crevices: Use the soft-bristle brush or toothbrush to clean hard-to-reach areas and corners. Gently scrub these areas to remove built-up grime.
7. Rinse and dry: After you’ve cleaned all the baseboards, use a clean, damp cloth or sponge to wipe off any remaining cleaning solution. Then, use a lint-free cloth or paper towels to thoroughly dry the baseboards. Moisture can damage the paint if left unchecked.
8. Inspect and touch up: Once the baseboards are dry, inspect them for any remaining stains or scuffs. If you notice any, you can touch up the paint with a matching white paint or a paint pen.
9. Replace furniture: Finally, return any furniture or items you moved to their original positions.
