How To Clean Skirting Boards
This is a simple job, but it can be a little boring. So we've come up with three different ways to make it a little easier and therefore less of a chore. We think you'll find these cleaning tips super useful!
It's so easy to forget about the skirting boards when cleaning your home, and unfortunately they are a dust and dirt magnet. They only look good if they're clean!
Method 1 - Vacuuming And Dusting Skirting Boards
A feather duster and a long vacuum attachment eliminate the need to bend or kneel down when cleaning your home.
After you've finished vacuuming, take a moist duster to the skirting boards and use it to clean any awkward angles or crevices.
Make a habit of doing this every few weeks to avoid a buildup of dust and to cut down on the amount of time you spend cleaning your home.
Method 2 - Clean The Skirting Boards With Hot Soapy Water
Combine warm water and ¼ cap of fabric softener in a large bucket.
Use a damp sponge or cloth to remove dirt, filth, and scuff marks from the skirting until it's clean and shining again.
This will also leave the skirting boards with a lovely, fresh scent.
It's best to use this method every few months, or when the skirting boards look particularly grimy, use this method.
