Baseboard molding is very necessary for the wall. It is mainly a protective measure for the wall to prevent the areas under the wall from being kicked to affect the appearance of wall.

Materials of the Baseboard Moldings

1.PVC Baseboard Molding

There are various kinds of materials for baseboard molding. Nowadays, PVC skirting is very common. Its appearance is very similar to that of wooden baseboard molding, because there is a layer of wood-grained leather on the surface.

Wood baseboard molding is divided into solid wood and MDF. Among them, solid wood baseboard molding is expensive, so it is relatively rare, but the decorative effect and quality are better. If you choose hardwood baseboard molding, you should pay attention to climate changes during use, which is easy to affect the hardwood baseboard molding. Since wooden baseboard molding is expensive, it is best to use a hardwood floor vacuum to clean it.

How to Clean the Dust on Baseboard Molding?

To clean the dust on the baseboard molding, we can first use a dry mop or rag to clean it, or we can choose a more labor-saving home vacuum cleaner to clean the dust. And the vacuum cleaner for hardwood floors can also clean the corner that the rag cannot wipe. And for some expensive baseboard molding, such as hardwood baseboard molding, it is best to choose a vacuum cleaner for wood floors.

After cleaning the dust on the surface of the baseboard molding, we can use a dry cloth to clean it again. This is to clean the more stubborn substances. Or we can use a special detergent to make it cleaner. However, for solid wood baseboard molding, it is better to keep the water as little as possible, and usually we choose to use a hard floor vacuum cleaner to maintain its cleanliness.
