Baseboards run along the bottom perimeter of every wall, making them a magnet for gravity-bound dust, pet fur, shoe scuffs, and stray mopping residue. Because they require bending down or kneeling, they are often skipped during routine cleanings. Our Baseboard Cleaning add-on restores that sharp, clean border around your rooms, making your entire floor layout look immediately more polished and fresh.
-
Best For: Pet owners whose furry friends rub against walls, homes with high foot traffic, and spaces preparing for real estate listings or holiday gatherings.
-
Prerequisite: Can be added to any Standard Cleaning or recurring Routine Housekeeping plan. (Note: Hand-wiped baseboards are already included in our Deep Cleaning and Move-In/Move-Out packages).
What’s Included (The Edge-to-Edge Checklist)
We handle your baseboards step-by-step to prevent dust from settling back onto your freshly cleaned floors:
1. Dry Dust & Hair Extraction
-
Loose Dust Removal: We use a specialized vacuum attachment or micro-static duster to pull away loose top-layer dust, cobwebs, and clinging pet hair from the top ledge of the baseboards.
-
Corner Sweeping: Clearing out dirt buildup right where the baseboard meets your carpet or hard flooring.
2. Hand-Wiped Wet Scrubbing
-
Scuff Mark Treatment: We gently scrub away black shoe marks, furniture scuffs, and mysterious spills using surface-safe cleaning sponges.
-
Sanitizing Wipe-Down: Every inch of the trim is wiped down by hand using a damp microfiber cloth infused with a mild, pleasant-smelling cleanser that dissolves stuck-on dirt film without chipping or fading the paint.
3. Detail Drying & Finish
-
Moisture Check: Baseboards are completely dried to prevent any moisture from sitting on wood or MDF materials.
-
Wall-Edge Precision: Ensuring the clean-up leaves zero streaks or wet lines on your lower walls or adjacent flooring.
Why Add This To Your Service?
Frames the Whole Room: You can have perfectly clean floors, but dusty baseboards will instantly make a room feel neglected. Keeping them bright and white makes the whole space pop. Controls Airborne Allergens: Because baseboards sit right at floor level, they trap fallen allergens. Wiping them away keeps dust from getting kicked back into the air by your family’s footsteps or pets running past. Protects Trim Longevity: Regularly wiping away humidity films, oils, and moisture prevents the lower trim from yellowing, accumulating mold, or experiencing paint peeling over time.
