Let’s be honest. That comfy spot you crash on after work? The one that’s seen more Netflix binges and spilled popcorn than your kitchen floor? Yeah, that thing might be messing with your lungs. Read this!

People usually go all in on vacuuming carpets, scrubbing tiles, dusting shelves. But they forget the furniture. The sofa gets a pass. It looks fine. Smells… kind of okay. No obvious stains, no worries, right? Wrong. That thing is like a sponge for everything your nose hates.

Every time someone sits down, there’s a puff of invisible debris that launches into the air. Not dramatic. But steady. Soft furnishings soak up the worst of it. Dead skin, pollen, pet fur, rogue Cheeto dust. Even if you don’t see it, it’s in there. And unless you’ve got X-ray vision or a blacklight obsession, you’re not spotting the problem.

One mate told me if you can’t see it, it’s not a problem. That same guy swears his five-second rule works on bus station floors. So maybe don’t take his word for it.

North Shore homes catch a lot of outdoor stuff, too. Open windows are great until they become a highway for every bit of airborne nonsense. Breezes don’t clean. They shuffle the mess. And soft cushions love to collect it like souvenirs. Ever noticed that weird musty scent after a week of rain? That’s your lounge telling you it’s due for a deep dive.

Even the best vacuums can’t reach the buried mess. You might suck up crumbs, sure. But you’re not getting into the cushion guts where all the good bacteria parties happen. That’s where pros come in. Not the overkill kind. Just someone with the right tools to flush out the grime.

Waiting for spring cleaning? Might as well let the dust hold a reunion. Do it now. Your lungs, your dog, your future sneeze-free self will appreciate it.
