The handle’s reach and head’s flexibility makes it a breeze to gather grime along baseboards down low and crown molding up high, but can also be used on other surfaces like mantles, banisters, the tops of picture frames, door frames and much more.“The pads are nice and fluffy to trap dust and dirt, and I was delighted and horrified at exactly how much dust and dirt came off of my base boards and door frames with a simple swipe across them all!” one reviewer shared.Other shoppers call the tool a “game changer.” It’s lightweight, weighing 9.6 ounces, and reviewers report that the compact size makes it easy to store in a closet when you’re done using it.AmazonAlthough named for baseboards, you can also use the tool for crown molding, stairways and more.The Baseboard Buddy’s design has made it a worthy purchase for folks with arthritis, those recovering from surgery, people in their 70s and anyone who wants to avoid the back and knee pain that comes with cleaning baseboards or behind furniture. “I call this my ‘lazy duster’ because it makes it easy to just walk around and dust those pesky baseboards,” one person wrote. “It’s easy to change the pads and wash them. Get this if you want to be a lazy duster, too.”Another shopper said that the Baseboard Buddy “made cleaning baseboards so easy.

It helps me reach up high and down low with ease, and the swivel head makes getting into tricky spots super simple. Definitely a must-have if you’re looking to make household cleaning faster and more comfortable.” — B24“If you like to keep your baseboards and your crown molding clean, this is the best product to use. I sprayed a little bit of lemon oil on the pads they provide with this product and it cleans very well. I would recommend that when you are cleaning these pads to put them in a laundry zip bag so they won’t get bent or twisted and you can keep them together for the next time you use this product. As a 50+ woman I was thrilled to find this product and I ordered it immediately because I didn’t have to break out my knee pads and get on my hands and knees to clean baseboards any more! This product works great and it gets AA+ Love it!!!” — angela cannon“I bought this for my mom who is almost 70 (will be next Feb.). She said she loves it. She can’t get down to dust & clean anymore and she said this is a wonderful product. It does a good job and makes dusting the baseboards super easy for her. I am happy I bought it for her and she is totally happy with it. It is good quality and easy to use. Very much worth the price as well. It came with two extra pads and the handle is long enough to dust above doors or the top of pictures on the wall. Good Product!!!” — Clayton Cochran“This makes dusting those baseboards we all hate to much easier. I can now literally do my entire house with ease. I’m not killing my back or knees anymore by crawling around, I can just walk around my house and clean it all. Highly recommended!!” — The Creed Life“My husband used the baseboard cleaner and we were shocked to see the dirt it removed.
