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?

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.

Omg suck them up Grin

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.

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

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!

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

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!).

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.

hardly ever

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.
