To ask how often you clean under your sofas and beds?

[deeedeee]

I've just cleaned under our sofas and realised I hadn't done it since before christmas.... eeeeeek. Am I exceptionally clarty? or middle of the road minging? or just live in a normal midden?

[Gottagetmoving]

Our bed is a divan with storage drawers and a thick mattress. It's really heavy and needs to be moved to Hoover under it, so I have only moved it once in 6 years to do it....Took two of us and was exhausting..The dust under it was disgusting.
If we get a new bed it will be one I can get a Hoover or the attachments under it.
Our sofa is also massive and heavy, so that gets moved every month to Hoover under it.

hardly ever

[OutnumberedbyFurchesters]

Every 6 months or so... But only been in this house 2 months, so...

Probably not again before Christmas. Except a sticking the vacuum attachment under the gap to make me feel better.

I hoover under the bed every week, mainly because we've got laminate floor in the bedroom and when I'm in the bath (corner bath in bedroom which is a loft conversion master suite-type thing) I can see the dust under the bed! There's no gap to get the hoover that far under the sofa, so I only hoover under there when I have to move it (i.e. when moving house!).

Cleaner does under sofa sometimes Our bed wont get done unless we move or get a new bed. I do under dcs maybe every couple of months or so.

[Mortgagedilemma]

Very rarely

[Chopstick17]

Have to add that I was recently horrified when I pulled my fridge out!!! Ugh!!! Will have to add that to a monthly job now too!

[Chopstick17]

Once a month pull sofas out when hoovering. Same under bed but I do have a high metal bed frame which makes it easier.

[Budgiebonbon]

Either when I have lost something under the sofa, we pull it out or if I am doing my big spring clean or Christmas clean. Normally find lots of hair clips/bobbles and Dog's tennis balls.

Our bed is ....aherm....a different scummy matter, it is a divan so you have to move the whole thing to clean underneath it. Last time was when we were decorating and DP did it. He was chuffed to bits as he found a very dusty fiver and my missing earring.

[Threepineapples]

Omg suck them up

[Threepineapples]

Still I don't have anything under my bed but I don't vacuum under it because I can't physically get the vacuum underneath and the room isn't big enough to move the bed.

When I had hard floor in my bedroom the dust bunnies were epic but you can sick them up with the attachment.

[AmberEars]

Erm.... never.

[stillwantrachelshair]

For those of you who vacuum under beds regularly, does that mean you don't use that space for storage? Or do you pull all of that out too? Our bed has drawers under it, the spare bed has all the suitcases under it & the DC each have trundles under their beds.

[FireflyGirl]

Under sofa about once a week. There's a decent sized gap and we have laminate, so DS builds up a collection of cars/dummies/jigsaw pieces/pegs etc I usually sweep them out once or twice a week, and properly move the sofa out about once a fortnight.

Under beds - um, it's not like they can get very dirty, is it? 2 years and counting for ours... It's a wooden 4-poster so even with DH help I couldn't move it!

[Fairylea]

Only when we get new furniture or move.... and I'm very houseproud, it's just too heavy to do on a regular basis!

[RainbowDashian]

I vacuum under the beds when I do the bedrooms which is probably about once a fortnight, sometimes maybe a month.
Sofas probably about the same because they have a gap which swallows toys and socks and crumbs.

[DeleteOrDecay]

We have reclining sofas, so in theory it should be relatively easy to clean fairly regularly as you can lift the footrest and get under quite easily.

Truth is we only ever get around to it every once in a while

[AnnieOnnieMouse]

Under the sofa if it ever gets moved - last time was about 3 years ago.
last time I cleaned under the beds was when I redid the flooring about 10 years ago. There isn't any room for anything under there.

[GuiltyPleasure]

Dust is much more noticeable on hard floors, hence pulling out the sofas to clean weekly, possibly more like monthly but I can't remember the last time I properly vacuumed, or gave thought to vacuuming under the beds where we have carpet. I am now seriously regretting having ordered hardwood flooring to be put in the bedrooms next week

[FishSauce555]

I'm soo pleased someone else utalises their hairdryer as cleaning equipment

[CreepyClown]

Under sofa erm probably last xmas like you lol
My bed I do a quick clean every few months when I can see to much cat hair under there

[Pulchra76]

I blast the hairdryer under our bed every so often and it's amazing how much dust and cat hair comes flying out

[dudsville]

Gosh I'm not strong enough to do this! Occasionally oh and I will tackle jobs like that together.

[brasty]

You clean under the sofa??

[Woody67]

Rarely!
