How often do you clean behind your couch??

aliadam · **How often do you clean behind your couch??**

I obviously don't often enough!!

We're having the inside of our house painted so yesterday I had us all scrubbing the baseboards with a magic eraser. We moved our living room couch and OH MY GOD!!!! We spend most our time in the family room and my dd uses the living room as her personal hanging out spot to do homework etc. Well when we moved the couch we found TONS of papers, cards, a periodic table

, and best of all....a individual sized can of fruit cocktail

God I'm a pig of a housekeeper

Weekly. It is easy for me to move it. My husband makes fun of me because I'm always moving the furniture around after I've cleaned. The sofa is often in two different places in the living room.

I move all the furniture I can move when I vacuum weekly...I'm just weird like that!

My living room sofa is a queen anne style, so it's on legs, so it gets vacuumed under every time we vacuum (cats sleep there a lot, so it needs it). The famiy room sofa is positioned about 6" from the wall, so it's easy for the vacuum hose to reach back there as well.

But don't feel bad Aliadam. I was married 6 years before someone mentioned to me about washing the exterior of their refridgerator. It had never even DAWNED on me that people wash/wipe down the exterior of their fridges. It's just a giant magnetic board, to me!

We have a sectional so it is fairly easy to move, plus i have a corner unit that is even with the sectional that has a lamp and accessories on. But the unit has shelves that I have stuff on that is hidden, and if I want to get to the stuff (seasonal items) I have to move the sectional.

I vacumn under and behind it 2 a month at least, more if my dog hides something underneath it, or drops something between the cushions that I have to pull the unit apart to get to! I just clean while I have it apart!

I try to do this once a week, otherwise it's definately every two weeks, my DS loves to toss stuff back there.

Guess I'm gonna have to step up my game!
