Modern WHITE baseboards?

Well it's clear? They show EVERY piece of dust and dirt...Often when I use a damp white paper towel or Clorox wipe, dirt just gathers and never seems to get COMPLETELY wiped clean WITHOUT doing it two or three times...So much for the modern curvy moulded look! Far more maintenance than the old inch-width plain brown baseboard. No matter how you look at it? You've got to get on your knees to clean...Any ideas of WHAT WORKS MOST effectively and efficiently ONCE you do? Thanks for any tips!

    What you require is to use an "Anti-static" cleaning wipe.

    The wiping action of the board creates an Electrostatic Charge, esp' in certain weather conditions, static is most prevellant esp' if certain types of Rubber-soled Footware are worn also, You may be unknowingly charging the Board, simply by the action of walking around, And then applying the charge stored from Your body, via; the wipe you're using.

    The solution; Try anti-static wipes, I'm sure You'll see a difference.
