After spending some time cleaning over the holidays, I realized just how disgusting my baseboards were. I thought, I need to make that quick cleaning spray and get the boards looking new. What if someone comes over with a white glove and checks? 🙂 People can be just so judgemental. Of course, I am kidding, but in all honesty, your home looks so much cleaner when your baseboards are dirt and dust free.
Since both of my girls have asthma, I don’t use fabric softener anymore, but I do have it in the laundry room. Of course, our laundry room isn’t that well insulated, and my softener was a little frozen when I went to make this cleaner. Nothing like the cold of winter to freeze even the fabric softener these days.
Anywho, the fabric softener really helps clean the boards, keep the boards clean, and it smells so good too. So if you have some extra fabric softener to spare, check out the steps below to get started.

Soap and water does work, but this DIY baseboard cleaning spray makes your life easier in the long run. It will keep dust off your baseboards longer, and therefore, you won’t have to do this chore as often.

Shake up the bottle, and you are done making your baseboard cleaner! It couldn’t be easier.
How to Clean Baseboards with Fabric Spray
Step 1: Spray the Baseboards with Fabric Softener Spray
Then, spray down the baseboards with the cleaner.
Step 2: Wipe Off with Cloth
Using a cleaning cloth, wipe down the boards. Having this solution in the bottle makes this process easier and allows you to go through your home on your own schedule.
If you don’t have time to do every room at once, you can do this cleaning process when you have the time.
Does Fabric Softener Stop Dust?
Fabric softener does keep the dust away as it has antistatic properties, which helps keep the dirt away longer. If only we could just coat everything in Downy?
Well, really you could also use this spray if you have static clean or just need a quick fabric refresh.
Spray it on your throws for a little scent booster too.
