The Best Ways To Clean Your Home’s Architraves

Your home is full of architraves, and that’s part of what makes it special. It also means that there are lots of surfaces with which dirt can collect. The good news is that cleaning these tricky places isn’t hard, but you do need to be careful – after all, they’re a valuable part of your home’s decor! Here are some tips for cleaning an architrave properly.

Remove Cobwebs Under The Architraves And In The Corners Of Your Home

The best way to clean cobwebs is by using a broom, as it will not damage the architraves. Sweep under the arches and in the corners of your home with the broom, then use a vacuum to collect any dust and cobwebs that were loosened during sweeping. Do not use a vacuum cleaner on your architraves as this can cause them to splinter over time.

Examine The Architraves For Stains Before Removing

You must examine the architraves for stains and remove them with a stain remover. If there are many stains, you may need to scrub them with a toothbrush or similar brush. You should also test the stain remover on a small section first to make sure it doesn’t cause damage to your architraves.

Also, you must clean each section of your architrave by wiping it with an all-purpose cleaner, then with a sponge dipped in water and a paper towel to dry it off. Using an all-purpose cleaner, wipe down each section of your architrave. Dip a sponge in water and then wring it out so that it is damp but not dripping wet. After that, wipe the damp sponge over the entire surface of your architrave until it’s clean.

Upon doing so, you must use paper towels to dry off any excess moisture from cleaning or drying with a sponge, as this will prevent mildew and other damage to your walls or floors if they’re made from wood or laminate flooring materials respectively.

Use Rubbing Alcohol If There Are Stubborn Stains On Architraves

If you’re dealing with stubborn stains on your architraves, try using rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol is highly flammable and should be used in a well-ventilated area. Be careful not to get it on delicate surfaces like wood or fabric because it will damage them.

When cleaning an architrave, in case you are unsure about whether or not rubbing alcohol will damage a material, test it first before applying it directly onto the stained part of your architrave. 

Wipe down any mould that you find on the top of your architrave with bleach diluted in water – be sure to test this on a small section first If you find mould on the top of your architrave, wipe it down with a small amount of bleach diluted in water, testing first on a small section.
