cleaning skirting boards...

[giraffescantdancethetango]

yesterday I went round and cleaned the hall ones and front room ones. and today im doing bathroom and kitchen.

I think I am nesting for someone...whoever it is please take your nesting hormones back!!

I am ahamed to say the water was black when I changed it! I only moved in a month ago - dread to think when they were last done YUCK it makes me sick thinking that its not my drt is previous tennants dirt vom

Console yourself with the thought that the black is prob just black rubber where their hoover bumped into it when they were cleaning so diligently!

There, that made you feel better, didn't it? [smiel]

If the hoover causes black pieces of fluff like substance then yes its made me feel better

Ive flushed it all down the toilet now.

How often should I clean them to keep them up to what they are like now? I keep staring at them they look so nice once a month would you say?

I have to say i don't think i've EVER cleaned a skirting board. and am not about to start now.

giraffes, i do mine once every few months, no-one else can tell (i hope) that i don't wander round with a bowl of hot soapy water constantly cleaning them. Just do it when they start to look grubby again!

I do them whilst on the phone with my foot! (obviously whilst wearing socks!!) then pop the socks in the wash

I do mine when I can see dust on top
