How do you clean behind a freestanding bath?

[ilikeyoursleeves]

I'd quite like a freestanding bath in our new bathroom but as it will have a wall pretty much flush with it at either end, and then a wall along the length, how on earth do you clean behind it and round the sides IYSWIM?

I don't want a mound of dust gathering over the years!

No idea... but watching with interest as I'm thinking about a new bathroom

I have an old cast iron bath on legs and I just use the extension on our Dyson to vacuum underneath and round the sides.

I can see how that works if it's raised on legs shewhodares but what if the bath is on the floor but there is space all around it to gather the dust?

Umm, not sure if I'm being a bit dim here! My bath is on legs but the base of the bath actually lies on the floor. It still works with the Dyson. Hope that's what you meant...

ah OK, I thought yours was raised so you could see right under it. Or is that not how they work? Just realising the bath plus water would be too heavy for that now- d'oh!

So maybe easier to clean then if it sits on the floor...
