Your couch need cleaning: Housekeeping tips

It's not always easy to clean a couch, but you have to do it regularly - or it can become dusty and dirty pretty quickly.

Dusty couches aren't just unpleasant to use - they can be potentially dangerous for people with allergies and kids.

Here are a few tips on how to understand that you need to clean your couch more often.

Look at It

First, take a good look at your couch, especially in well-lit areas. Dust often appears as a thin layer of fine particles on the surface.

Run Your Hand Over It

Gently run your hand over the couch's fabric or surface. 

If you feel a slight grittiness or if your hand comes away with a powdery residue, that's a sign of dust.

Use a Tissue or Cloth

Another way is to take a clean tissue or a cloth and wipe it across the couch's surface. 

If you see dirt or dust clinging to the tissue or cloth, it's a clear indicator that your couch is dusty.

Check for Allergies

If you or anyone in your home starts sneezing, coughing, or experiencing allergy symptoms when sitting on the couch, it could be due to dust and allergens in the fabric.

Inspect Crevices

Don't forget to look in crevices, seams, and corners of the couch, as dust tends to accumulate in these hidden spots.

Conclusion

People tend to ignore slow changes, but it's not that hard to notice dust and dirt - just look closely at your couch to see the dirt.

Even when it seems that it's not that bad, it's still better to vacuum it regularly.
