How do you clean under floor boards?

To clean under floor boards, use a vacuum cleaner or a dust mop. Avoid using a broom, as it can push dust between the boards.

Cleaning Methods for Under Floor Boards

Cleaning under floor boards requires the right tools and technique to effectively remove dust and debris. Here are two primary methods:

Hard Floor Setting: Ensure your vacuum cleaner is set to the hard floor setting. This will prevent scratching and optimize dust pickup.
Attachments: Use attachments such as the crevice tool to reach into gaps and corners.
Thorough Vacuuming: Move the vacuum slowly to ensure all dust and debris are collected.

Microfiber: Choose a dust mop with a microfiber head for effective dust capture.
Dry Moping: Dry mop the area before using any liquids.
Reach Under Boards: Use the flat head of the mop to reach and clean under floor boards.

Using a traditional broom to sweep is not recommended for cleaning under floor boards because:

Pushing Dust: Brooms tend to push dust and debris between the floorboards, making them more difficult to clean.
Ineffective Cleaning: They aren't very effective at collecting the fine dust that accumulates under the boards.

Here's a quick guide for cleaning under floor boards:

By using the appropriate tools and methods, you can keep the area under your floor boards clean and free of dust.
