Occasionally we'll scoot the couch over vacuum up the dust bunnies, but that's rare, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-333321 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 11:48:01 +0000 chopsuey 333321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: ooh great idea! I'm gonna try to do this on a weekly basis so it doesn't get too nasty under there.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-333289 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 11:35:11 +0000 erwoo 333289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe use a vacuum hose under it from time-to-time? I should do that b/c I only just swiffer as well. There are flash cards stuck between two of the sections that I still need to fish out. I just swept out two little cars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-333284 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 11:32:02 +0000 Arden 333284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stick an empty wrapping paper roll on the end of you vacuum's hose, and then you can squish the end so it fits in tight spaces like under the couch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-333277 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 11:30:30 +0000 dagret 333277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to get DH to lift up the couch at least once a month. But you can't see under the couches so I don't sweat it too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-333173 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 10:23:37 +0000 Mrs. Pen 333173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldilocks1107: haha.</p> <p>We've moved the couch a few times to clean under it but many 1-2x a year haha!! </p> <p>At this apartment we might try to be more diligent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-333161 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 10:19:58 +0000 autumnlove 333161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make DH move the couch so can vacumn underneath. It only happens twice a year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-333075 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 09:37:58 +0000 DillonLion 333075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unless DH moves the couch out of the way, it doesn't happen. But we recently added a piece of furniture to the room and had to rearrange everything, and I ran the vacuum over the whole floor while we were moving things around. It wasn't that dirty under there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-333073 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 09:36:16 +0000 yoursilverlining 333073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just move the couch; but we have hardwood floors and only a loveseat vs. a full size sofa so that helps! Just push it backwards, clean floor with vacuum and then swiffer, then push couch back. We do this once a week or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-333065 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 09:32:48 +0000 Mrsbells 333065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have to move the couch to clean under it. I just use a regular broom and then mop. I have to do this though otherwise when I sit on the other couch I can see the dirt under it from the other side of the room and it irritates me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-333063 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 09:32:01 +0000 prettylizy 333063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use my imagination to believe that under the couch is clean and leave it at that:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-333059 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 09:29:30 +0000 Alivoo01 333059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only way to reach under couches (without moving it) is if your take the vacuum wand and even then it doesn't really suck up much! We removed the legs off our couch so that they sit on the ground. However, I'm sure there is a ton of bust bunnies, pet hair, etc in the crevice along the couch where they meet the floor that the vacuum doesn't pick up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-333008 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 09:15:16 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 333008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never clean under the couch. When my husband vacuums he moves the couch and vacuums under it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-333003 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 09:13:56 +0000 sarac 333003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got a couch with fabric that hangs to the floor, and started pretending like 'underneath the couch' doesn't exist. I'd highly recommend it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-332999 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 09:12:49 +0000 oahujeni 332999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily we have ceramic tile so it's easy to move the couch and then vacuum/mop under it. You wouldn't believe what builds up under there every other week (we have two cats and two dogs.) Ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-332997 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 09:11:22 +0000 tororojo 332997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another never done it right here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-332996 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 09:10:23 +0000 Goldilocks1107 332996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only way I'm able to clean under the couch is by moving it, then moving it back after I'm done. And that happens . . . never. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-332966 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 08:53:03 +0000 ladyfingers 332966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're supposed to clean under the couch?</p> <p>;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-332919 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 08:27:08 +0000 MrsBrewer 332919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Glad I'm not the only one that neglects cleaning there! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-332917 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 08:24:48 +0000 Foodnerd81 332917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: It probably is gross, but that's what we do too! We have hardwood, and I don't think I've ever gotten more than a few inches in from all the edges, unless the cleaning lady does it? I don't even know. And we have a dog that sheds, so I'm pretty sure there are dust and fur bunnies the size of actually bunnies under there. Same thing happens when I pull out the under the bed storage bins. I'm not housekeeper of the year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-332913 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 08:23:06 +0000 MrsBrewer 332913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eek. Nothing right now to be honest, we have carpet and I really dont know if I could get anything under the couch to clean it! I will probably just wait till we move the couch......Is that gross??? ahahahha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-clean-under-the-couch#post-332910 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 08:21:53 +0000 chopsuey 332910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we moved our couch there was so much nastiness under there! Dust bunnies, crumbs, small toys, books..etc. -.-<br /> I usually get a dry swifter duster and dust under the couch, but I guess I missed a lot. Haha</p> <p>Hoping to keep under the couch clean at our new place.. :P<br /> Any tips? </p>
