Best way to remove stubborn baseboard molding?

Depending on the seriousness of the mold. X-14 Spray Cleaner works wonders. If it's only external, a simple spray and wipe will do.

If it's from water damage in the walls, then your going to have to pry the baseboard off and assess it further. If the wall has water damage, you can resolve the source of the water/moisture leak, clean it up, apply KILLZ and re install baseboard. BEST WAY: remove baseboard, cut out dry wall, replace dry wall, replace baseboard, repaint/wallpaper as needed.

I would suggest you use a very tough scrubber and a coarse soda powder. I would also suggest some bleaching solutions.

You'll want to be careful removing mold yourself. Gloves and mask are recommended. If there is additional mold growth behind the baseboard, removing it could release additional spores that could spread throughout the area.

If you think you have a big problem, you might want to have a professional check it out.

Don't forget when using a crow bar to pry off molding that you should loosen the whole piece and then move in one direction otherwise you will get a seesaw effect and cause yourself a lot of trouble. Try to slip the crowbar or screwdriver in near the nails that hold it to the wall and sort of pop it with a quick wrist snap then proceed to the other nails left to right or right to left always starting at one end and working to the other.

Cut the top cauk with a utility knife then get one of these and a hammer :)

I would definitely use a box/utility knife to cut the thick paint at the top of the trim where it joins the wall. This is typically what causes "tough molding" to stick in my experience. Once you have done this, you can use a flat pry bar to pop the molding off after there's a gap.

If not, start with a screwdriver. Although you can use a block of wood or 2x4 piece to "protect" the wall from damage, you may create damage simply by using the piece of wood... Just be gentle and it'll come loose. You don't need to provide "prying surfaces" as this may cause you to use a LOT more force than is necessary.So even if you use a block of wood, again, be gentle.

You want to remove without marring up the surrounding stuff. One small crow bar and a piece of rubber mat about the size of your two hands. And one small two by four.

The two by four you are using as the fulcrum to the two piece lever with the other being the crow bar so wrap it in the piece of rubber mat that you have. Before using the crow bar. You will ently place crow bar between molding and the wall using the wrapped two by four for leverage and ease the molding back by gently leveragging the crow bar Do not go fast with this.

If you use a crowbar, make sure you put a piece of board between it and the wall or else you will damage your walls. Then, use a knife to carefully cut through where the paint intersects the baseboard and the wall. Once it is all loose, then slowly try and pry the boards up.Do it a little at a time all the way down the strip.

This worked for me when I did it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
