Gently brush along the length of the skirting boards, ensuring you reach into all corners and crevices where dust, dirt, and cobwebs might be hiding.
STEP TWO: Prepare Your Cleaning Solution
After dusting, prepare your cleaning solution. Fill a bucket with warm water and add a small amount of detergent or multipurpose cleaner.
Be cautious not to use too much detergent to avoid leaving residue on the skirting boards. Mix the solution gently until well combined.
STEP THREE: Clean the Skirting Boards
Now, start cleaning. Dip a microfibre cloth or sponge into the solution and squeeze out the excess water.

Begin at one end of the skirting boards, wiping along the length with gentle, sweeping motions.
Focus on removing scuff marks, stains, and grime, but avoid scrubbing too hard to prevent damage. Rinse the cloth or sponge regularly to remove dirt as you clean.
STEP FOUR – Dry the Skirting Boards
After cleaning, use a clean cloth or towel to dry the skirting boards. Ensure all moisture is wiped away to prevent water damage or warping.
Inspect the skirting boards for any missed spots and repeat the cleaning process if necessary until they are entirely clean.
