To clean the skirting board and make all types of stains disappear, you can rely on this very effective remedy.
Sweeping floors to remove all traces of dust and dirt is an activity that should be done daily, so as to avoid finding yourself with a lot of work to do due to a level of dirt that is too high. However, sweeping can be very boring and tiring, especially when it comes to thoroughly cleaning the baseboards . It is certainly no coincidence that very often we sweep the floors without paying attention to cleaning the baseboards, which are therefore left with a certain amount of dirt. To thoroughly sanitize the baseboards you have to bend down and this is mainly why in most cases we tend to ignore them.
Cleaning the skirting board: with these remedies it will be very easy
Nothing could be more wrong, since even the baseboards must be cleaned exactly like the floors and the rest of the house. Fortunately, there are many easy tricks that allow you to clean the baseboards well without wasting too much time and above all without tiring.
Among the most popular solutions is certainly that of the cotton ball , which you simply dip in some solutions that guarantee a truly satisfying cleansing action.
However, choosing the right element to clean the skirting board must be based on the material of the skirting board itself. To be clear, if the goal is to clean a ceramic skirting board , then the cotton ball should be soaked in white vinegar , then passed over the areas where the stains are present.
White vinegar is also the ideal element with wooden skirting boards, while for other materials the advice is to rely on other remedies.
For example, with a marble skirting board , white vinegar is the worst possible choice, since its acidity risks irreparably corroding this material. With a skirting board of this type, a much more delicate product is needed. The advice is to focus on Marseille soap or at most yellow soap.
In addition to the trick of the cotton ball soaked in one of these very effective solutions, there are also other methods that allow you to intervene on the skirting board by eliminating any type of stain and thus making the dirt disappear.
We have already talked about wooden skirting boards, on which it is better to apply white vinegar for its particularly incisive action on this material. The advice that experts tend to give is to combine it with olive oil to obtain a more hydrating action.
With these solutions the skirting board will be as good as new
Pour half a glass of white vinegar with half a glass of olive oil into a container, then add two glasses of water.
After mixing well, the solution should be applied to a sponge or microfiber cloth, then rubbed on the baseboard to observe a very satisfactory cleaning action. Rinsing with a cloth soaked in hot water we will immediately notice that there will be no more traces of stains and dirt.
Finally, another method widely used by grandmothers consists of cleaning the skirting boards with wet wipes , always opting for the biodegradable ones.
Their delicate – yet very effective – action is perfect for restoring wooden skirting boards to their original shine.
