I'm ashamed to say that today I cleaned my baseboards for the first time since we moved into this house a year ago! I want to start doing it more regularly so that it's not a big production every time that it has to be done.
E's birthday party is at our house on Saturday so I'm in major cleaning mode!

Once a year 
Only when I get into my deep cleanign mode and notice how gross they are. It's been over a year since I last did them when I was nesting!

We just moved and as I taped the trim to paint I cleaned each one! If I'm cleaning/dusting a room I usually do it then when I have the cleaning products already handy

Don't feel bad! I think I cleaned the baseboards once or twice in my last apartment...and I lived there for 2 years!!
We moved into our current apartment 4 months ago and the only time I cleaned them was right when we moved in.
I vacuum along them weekly, but never scrub them. Oops.

I think I do it once or twice a year.

Really not often enough. Just did it though since we rearranged a bunch of furniture and got some new flooring.
My new goal is to use the shop vac hose on them more often so I have to do the wet rag less often

Never. oops. They got clean when they were painted about 3 years ago. It's just not something I think about cleaning.

Like twice a year. I think the cleaning lady does them now. I should find out....

Okay this thread has made me feel SOOO much better. I was just wondering if it was something that normal people do every month. I'm relieved that that's not true
I think maybe I'll try to clean them at the beginning of each season. We'll see if I can actually stick to that once #2 is here haha.

Pretty much never. I did the ones downstairs only because I was painting them.

I clean them biweekly with a swiffer duster, but they get a better more thorough cleaning only a few times a year.

Um....never. I want to replace them with taller ones when we redo the floors.

maybe 3-4 times a year. I run a dryer sheet over them and it collects the dust + makes them have anti-static quality so less dust sticks to them. (thank you pinterest for that tip!)

When I am disgusted by their appearance. A couple times a year, more often for the laundry room!

Umm, never?? Is that bad? We paid someone to clean our house for the first time and they did an immaculate job! Maybe they wiped them? Haha

Dang, I feel so on top of things reading this thread- only 1-2 times a year... some rooms never 
I opened it expecting to feel more than a little shamed.
