Housework - cleaning rooms unnecessarily

There’s no way I can move heavy furniture so my cleaning does not extend to behind the bed or sideboard, bookcases etc.

I am glad you dont.
I know someone who had to be told to stop doing this by her doctor.
She kept doing herself too many injuries.

I have quite deliberately bought furniture that can be hoovered under without moving it. What is more that is not just in old age, I have always done it because it is time saving and less hassle.

There is a chipboard factory in our village that produces an inordinate amount of dust. I don't, but I could dust daily and still see it on the duster. I try to have a routine but haven't managed yet.

I'll never forget a story my sister told. She was gobsmacked when visiting a friend who apologised that her vacuum cleaner cab!e didn't reach round behind the bedside tab!e in the guest room so that bit only got vacuumed twice a week!

Before we moved into a house with wool carpets up the stairs, hallway and landing, we paid to have them professionally cleaned. The house had been empty for 2 years so it was really necessary to get rid of the musty smell. The professional cleaner offered a moth repellent spray and a scotchgard treatment and we never saw a moth for years. HTH someone

My sofas and coffee table are too heavy to move. They only get pulled out when the carpet is shampooed, and it takes both of us to do it. When it's time to replace them I plan to only look at ones I can move single handed. It didn't occur to me to try moving sofas in the showroom, so it wasn't until we got them home that I realised. You'd think they were made of lead. The coffee table has a hinged lid and drawers, and is full of junk interesting items, so I understand why that is heavy, but not the sofas.
