How to clean moldings and baseboards
After vacuuming the dust off the top of the baseboards, it is best to get a bucket of soapy water or a vinegar mixture. Use a sponge to wipe down the baseboards and scrub off any scuff marks. You might also need an old tooth brush to get inside the groove of the specific molding or baseboard.
