Thrilling I know
I don't really clean mine. Looked at it yesterday and realised this is a mistakeBlush
What do you use? It's just gloss painted, skirting doorways and doors.
Will diluted Flash on a microfiber cloth be a good plan? they are rammy

Sugar soap? I just use flash and elbow grease usually.

I thought sugar soap might take the paint off? I think I might have some somewhere

Don't look, if you look you realise it's beyond cleaning.

I have a muddy dog at the moment. It's not just dustGrin

I would just use flash diluted and a cloth, I tried it with bleach and it made woodwork go yellow BIG mistake!!

Not very eco-friendly but I use an antibacterial wipe - patch test first if you're worried.

I find it a real chore so to have to set up hot soapy water and a cloth seems too fiddly - a set of pre-wet antibac wipes really helps me stay motivated to clean.

Squirt of washing up liquid in hot water and a microfibre cloth. I don't do mine very often... Ok, so maybe once every 5 years or so Blush - makes it very satisfying to see how much better they look afterwards!
