Skirting Boards are a pain to keep free of dust, but Skirting Board Vacuum Roomba makes short work of them.
It navigates the skirting boards like a cross between a millipede and an aardvark, sucking up the dust as it roves along, clinging to the edge with its multiple legs. Being totally flexible,
it can easily negotiate decorative mouldings and right angle bends. Dust is periodically dropped off in neat little bags that it processes as an added function of its internal mechanism.
Also scares the hell out of unaware visitors, if they happen to catch sight of it scuttling along methodically cleaning the peripheries of the room.

Truthfully, it would scare the hell outta me. Just a bit

Sort of, possibly, a bun. |

Huh? From the discussion so far, and the images not loading on the previously-[link]ed page, I was thinking a skirting board was halfway up the wall and had a ledge a couple of inches wide. Nope. Turns out [link] it's a baseboard, which we have in Canada. |

Is baseboard a summer thing ? |

That, and we only have one team. |
