Cleaning Trim/Molding?

IrishWifey

We moved in June to our new house and absolutely fell in love with the beautiful trim/molding and chair rails the previous owners had put up throughout the house.  There is a lot of it though, and I am having a hard time trying to keep up with cleaning it.  Is there an easy/best way to clean the trim?  It's all painted white, and some of it, especially that on the ceilings in our formal lr/dr and master bdrm are very detailed.  Advice is greatly appreciated!

I take a sponge along with a bucket of water to the trim.

We have some trim that isn't pretty or anything, but it's quite old and it has creases in it that make it look dirty since it's all painted white. 

I haven't tried this yet....but if a duster or a cloth can't get into the creases, I thought that using a can of air might help clear it out, like the canned air you use on computer keyboards. 

Like I said, that's just an idea. Not sure if you have the same dusty problem like we do here in NV.

Use the brush attachment on your vacuum to get the dust off when you're vacuuming the floors.  I do one or two rooms each week and rotate.  If there's residue of the slimy kid variety, I use an old rag to wipe them down.

I use a clean paintbrush that I bought specifically for this purpose--it works great.
