When was the last time you cleaned under your bed?

[breeze]

Don't quite know what came over me today, but decided to pull the bed out and give it a good hoover. The amount of dust under there was enough to make me feel sick. Just wandered if I am the only filth monger around.
I am sure when DH comes home he will want to know who I am, and what have I done with his wife

breeze,have you been in my bedroom again???

The last time I pulled my bed out was when we decided to redecorate. A good inch of dust had settled on top of the skirting board. Luckily our old carpet was grey also. I found lots of things under there - nothing remotely useful however.

Now I've found the perfect solution to cleaning under the bed without having to lift the darn thing. I send dd under there to go and retrieve anything that may have inadvertantly fallen there. At 2.5 yrs she is the perfect size for such a job!

breeze,has he got a habit of looking under the bed?any reasons for this behaviour??mine only does when his sock drawer is empty

Dh came downstairs last saturday and announced that he had very kindly pulled the bed away from the wall for me to hoover as it was 'disgusting'. Blood boiling, I said calmly, that it was normal?? Anyway I carried on getting ready to trapse round Safeways with Ds, he took the hoover upstairs and started to hoover behind, under everywhere upstairs. - Result.

So in answer to your question, Last week. (but don't ask when the next time will be)

DS decided to crawl under the bed last weekend - much giggling and sneezing ensued before he emerged: totally grey with dust and large fluff balls. Put him next to the cat and you couldn't tell them apart (ok the cat was cleaner)

Even that hasn't persuaded me to take a hoover to it. My theory is that if I leave it long enough some alchemy will turn it to gold...or possibly coal.

Yesterday! OOOhhh I feel so virtuous! We got a new mattress (had promised ourselves one when I stopped breastfeeding as -ha! - we weren't having any more kids and had ordered it before I fould out about this pg) and so took the old one off. Urgh! What was really embarrasing was the number of choccy biccy wrappers under my side!

Thursday! Going to polish my halo now!

We have wooden floors and the floor under the bed was almost furry, yuck!

I tend to clean under the beds about one hour before moving house

Ashamed to say that my cleaner did it earlier this week.

Found nothing too embarrasing thank goodness but lots of things I'd forgotton about.

Feeling very virtuous. DH actually wet cleaned the carpet underneath today (we've lived here 2 years!) and nothing sinister to report bar a couple of (semi) clean hankies !!

But behind the wardrobes ... who knows when anyone last ventured there!!!

I'm moving in about a month so no point in doing yet surely ????

Today. I'm 4 mths pg with #3 and nesting like a lunatic when not asleep. I pulled the bed out to touch up the paintwork behind it, then realised it would be a very long time before I could do it again and went & got the vacuum cleaner. You'd think there'd be more to life than this, but then again the same amount of dust must gather under the beds of famous, successful, glamorous people.

There is void under our beds. The floor there only exists if you look at it. So as long as we don't look, then there is no floor there to clean.

When we moved house last year. And I think my mum did it because right at that moment ds really needed a feed. It's just prudent financial management (hoover bags don't come cheap). Son has taken to licking carpet as part of learning to crawl, so should pick up some good immunities.

Don't know when - it was some months ago. I do know that I have only done it once and we have lived here 2.5 years.

Never when we put the carpet down about 2 1/2 years ago......... yuck...must do it.

Never thought to do it. I must go and have a look, see if I can find all my lost earrings.

Never do mine. Ever. Just to change the subject a little - how often do you change the beds? I am probably quite scuzzy as I leave it about 3-4 weeks. However, get this, my sister's friend does it (wait for it) every TWO days. Can you believe it??! And she irons the bedlinen too. Is this weird or am I????

I never do my bed either, just pull the duvet and it looks fine...
However I do change the sheets every other week: am I overdoing it?
My dh loves diy and I cannot stand the dust he leaves around and that seems to get in everywhere.

I mean I never hoover under the bed and never do my bed....

WOW!! I had a look today, but decided for health reasons that some things are best left untouched. I did however find about 12 dummies!!!!! I'll just give them a wee rinse and they'll be fine.

We 'can't' clean under our bed cos it's a 6' divan with drawers and would incur too much moving of heavy furniture. Same reason I've never turned the mattress.

Bedlinene - I aim to change once a week but if I don't do it on Monday it has to wait until the following week.

why even change the beds at all when some bright spark has invented Febreze!!!

There's a whole thread on how often you change your bed sheets and I failed miserably!! Sometime it's a whole month!
There is very little sexual activity goes on..... so hardly any sweat or anything else disgusting on the sheets (gross!).
Most of the time it's just me and ds, or dp and ds in the bed and like bobsmum says..... that's what febreeze is there for!!!
