How often should you clean sofas, mattresses and rugs?

Manufacturers mainly recommend regular care rather than a specific frequency for deep cleaning. The right frequency depends on your household.

Routine care

• Sofas and chairs: vacuum weekly with a soft attachment.
• Mattresses: air the bedding every morning and vacuum the surface when changing the sheets.
• Rugs: vacuum once or twice a week in areas with foot traffic.

When to plan a deep clean

Consider professional cleaning when the appearance becomes dull, after a move, before selling a piece of furniture, or if there are young children or pets in the household.

Adapt to your household

• Daily use, children or pets: keep an eye on armrests, headboards and high-traffic areas, which get dirty first.
• Rarely used room: regular vacuuming is often enough for a long time.
• Allergies in the household: frequent vacuuming with a machine equipped with a good filter is the priority; ask your doctor for advice on anything else.

💡 Rather than setting a fixed date, note the date of the last cleaning and look for signs: a dull appearance, a persistent odour, darker areas.
