Baseboard Painting Hack

2/3/2019

Have you decided to tackle painting the wood trim in your house?  Are you tired of taping off the floor?  Me too!  I decided that my 90s orange colored baseboards needed an update, but quickly realized that taping off the floor is a sloooowwww process.  Here is a hack that might help you:  use a piece of cardboard instead of tape!

If you have a little bit of give between the bottom of your baseboard and your flooring, this will save you some time.  I have not tried this yet with carpet, but it worked beautifully with my tile and wood flooring.  The thickness of the cardboard you need will depend on how much of a gap there is in between your flooring and the baseboard.  I tried using the flap of a cardboard box, but it was too thick.  Cutting off one side of a case of soda box worked perfectly.

As you paint, slide the cardboard underneath the baseboard.  Paint the area, remove the cardboard and give the edge a wipe to get any excess paint off.  Repeat as you work your way around the room.  It’s that easy!
