The Best Way To Clean Under Furniture

It's difficult to clean the carpet well when it's underneath furniture. This area also captures a lot of dirt, dust, hair and debris. Cleaning depends on the tool available, the weight of the furniture and the space underneath it.

It's easiest to clean under the furniture if there is a large space beneath it. You can use a vacuum with an extension tool to clean the carpet underneath. If you can get a robot vacuum you can program it to vacuum under this space effectively.

If there is a small space you the wand extension tool on the vacuum. This will only be able to clean around the edges of the furniture. You may want to consider moving the furniture to periodically clean this space. This depends on the weight of it.

If the furniture is too heavy to move you should leave it. Continue vacuuming all around it. The carpet will stay relatively clean since it will be shielded from the dirt. However, you should make a point of rotating the furniture so the carpet pile won't get damaged from the heavy furniture.

For heavy furniture consider cleaning underneath it once a year with professional carpet cleaning. This keeps your carpet from being damaged.

Cobwebs

Cobwebs can occur anywhere in the house but the stairways and windows are the popular spot for them. Often the spider has left and there is just the dead bugs and spider web to clean up.

Air Vents

Invisible Dirt -How Carpets Conceal Large Quantities of Dirt

Carpet cleaning should be done at least once a year. However many people skip this crucial cleaning since the carpet appears to look adequately clean. The problem is that on the surface carpets may look clean but underneath they are hiding a dirty secret.
