Default molding question

Does anyone have tips on how to fill the gaps between the molding and
wall since a flat wall does not exist?
We've tried using various types of caulk which does work great but its
a magnet for dust that sticks and is
very hard to get off.

Thanks


It's far easier to mix up a bit of drywall compound and make the
bottom of the wall flat where the baseboard installs. Pro drywallers
do this routinely. If they didn't, the finish carpenters would walk
off the job and drywallers would get called back to do it over free.
Simply use a good long straightedge and mud and sand to a flat level
line and your prepainted base mold should look fine without touch up.
