We finished cleaning the kitchen, the walls and now we are working our way down the wall. Washing woodwork is my least favorite job. You can imagine, I have to wash woodwork more than twice a year with three large dogs.
First, I vacuum all the woodwork; baseboards, crown molding, door jams and chair rails.
With a bucket of warm water and a 1/4 c. of all-purpose cleaner, gloves and a soft cloth, I wipe them down.
I include a scrub brush in the bucket because sometimes dirt on the woodwork can be a little stubborn.
Again, I make notes on any woodwork that needs to be painted, have loose boards or needs to be fixed.
This job is done for another 4 months… thank goodness.
your house must be sparkling....
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm suppose to WASH them now?? I thought just going over them every now and then with a dry cloth was okay.
ReplyDeleteDid you cover floors yet?? Need help with my new hardwood ones!!!
Seriously, these are great posts!
With construction, our baseboards and molding is looking a little under the weather. I think I will tackle it once all construction is finished.
