I can't thank you enough for all your replies. I am going to try all your ideas ---one at a time -- Hopefully one will do the job.
I just cleaned all my baseboards (molding) on my hands and knees with a damp cloth. The dirt/dust comes off of them easy.
My problems are more with the areas - where just opening and closing things - Cupboards --and handling things - doors - etc. get that buildup of fingerprints, cooking grease, smoke, furnace whatever, etc. I don't mind washing all my woodwork and doors, etc. -- but I want something that will clean them and take off all the stuff that builds up over time. I have cleaned them often - but really have just wasted my time.
White trim all over is a lot of extra work - compared to stained wood. But we have to keep things clean - right?
Anyway - I am going to try anything and everything anyone mentions.
Thanks again!
