Boring but....what do you use to clean painted woodwork?!

[OllieWollieWoo]

I've been putting it off for ages but the painted woodwork (esp skirting boards) really needs cleaning - what do you use on yours??? TIA!

[pasturesnew]

sugar soap

[CybilLiberty]

Sugar soap according to Kim and Aggie. But a quick shufty over with a baby wipe normally suffices in my house.

[MrsDinky]

A damp e-cloth shifts most things off paintwork.

[thumbwitch]

sugarsoap if you're going to repaint it, otherwise I tend to use a little bit of jif cif on a wet cloth.

[PavlovtheForgetfulCat]

wet cloth or sugar soap.

[TeaOneSugar]

Damp microfibre cloth or Stardrops if it needs a bit more help.

[purepurple]

washing up liquid diluted in lots of hot water
this works for floors, walls, and windows too

[BonsoirAnna]

Very dilute Flash or Cillit Bang with a e-cloth, after first hoovering with a brush attachment to get the dust off.

Stardrops

[OllieWollieWoo]

Ta for responses - v helpful - now sitting here trying to justify just how long I can put off job of cleaning woodowork as I know it will take ages! Wonder if I can bribe DSs????

[deaddei]

Cif,

[SparkyToo]

Damp cloth with Cit / Fairy Liquid - depending upon how bad the marks are!

[Toppy]

babywipes all the way

[mathanxiety]

Babywipes -- also very good for furniture like desks, chests of drawers, kitchen chairs, especially if they have moisturiser.

[fruitstick]

How about walls? Whenever I try to get marks off the walls it seems to take the paint off too.

Liquid soda crystals. Wicked stuff.
