Do you dust UNDER your furniture?

[Anonymous]

Like, up under the actual furniture piece itself?

We are exceptionally clean, but never occurred to me to do this. But while searching high and low for a lost piece of jewelry, I looked under a nightstand and saw a cob web, which prompted me to look up on the underside of the piece, and I was DISGUSTED! Cobwebs and hair and spider eggs and just GROSS!

The thing is, there’s no good way to clean this regularly. I had to get down on all fours and contort a Swiffer under and up there and it’s still not perfect.

If you don’t want to feel filthy, never look there.

Everyone has their own "oh no I can't believe I wasn't cleaning this" moment.

No, I’m talking about up ON the couch, the fabric part of the couch. Or the wood part of the underside of your night stands or dressers.

I too move furniture, but it’s not easy to get the UNDERSIDE.

So you’re saying you routinely overturn your furniture for deep cleaning? Walk me through this, because I guess I need to start!

No, just saying I wouldn't get upset. Everyone misses something. I'll just occasionally swiffer under the furniture.

I only recently found out people clean their walls.

Yes, but only if it's possible to do so without moving the furniture. That's why I particularly appreciate my old Dyson vacuum with its super slim head. It's not manufactured any more, so I baby it, and have taken it apart to repair it.

I wash some, not all of my walls... because my dog has segments of walls he brushes against, and his fur ends up leaving a film of grease over time. I wipe those down with baby wipes.

I do not wash my ceiling, except the one in our upstairs bathroom, which regularly develops spots for some reason.

Your Roomba climbs up and cleans the underside of furniture? Which model?

I don't even dust on top of furniture.

OP is not talking about the floor under furniture, she's talking about the underside of the furniture itself. If you were an ant under the dresser, you'd think it was the ceiling.
