What You’re Missing Under the Couch Cushions

August 18, 2025

This is a subtitle for your new post

We all know the feeling—drop the TV remote, fish it out from between the cushions, and… find a few crumbs, a coin or two, and maybe something you don’t remember owning.


At O’Shea Cleaning & Support Services, Swan Hill’s leading commercial cleaning team, we’re here to tell you: what’s under the couch cushions matters more than you think.


Why It’s More Than Just Crumbs

Whether it’s your office waiting room, school staff room, or a lounge in an aged care facility, the hidden spots we don’t see every day can be a breeding ground for dust, bacteria, and even pests. Over time, these tucked-away messes:

  • Affect hygiene and health – Dust and allergens can trigger asthma, allergies, or discomfort for staff and visitors.
  • Damage your professional image – If a client leans down to pick up something they dropped… you don’t want them meeting last year’s biscuit crumbs.
  • Invite unwanted guests – Food debris can attract ants, mice, or cockroaches (and no one needs that kind of company).


What Our Cleaning Team Finds Most Often

In our years of providing commercial cleaning services in Swan Hill, Lake Boga, and Nyah West, we’ve uncovered all sorts of surprises under furniture:

  • Lost keys, phones, and jewellery.
  • Office pens that mysteriously “went missing” months ago.
  • Food wrappers and crumbs from staff lunches.
  • The odd stapler or pair of scissors.
    (And yes, we return every lost item we find!)


How O’Shea Cleaning Makes the Hidden Shine

Our team doesn’t just vacuum around your furniture—we go deeper. As part of our deep cleaning services, we:

  • Shift and clean under couches, chairs, and tables.
  • Sanitise hard-to-reach spots where dust collects.
  • Use professional-grade equipment to remove allergens and debris.

For NDIS and aged care clients, this thoroughness is even more important. We know how vital a hygienic, safe environment is for vulnerable individuals, so our cleaners are trained to handle delicate spaces with extra care.


When to Book a Deep Clean

You might be due for a deep cleaning session if:

  • It’s been over 6 months since you moved furniture for cleaning.
  • You’ve noticed more dust than usual.
  • Staff or visitors have complained about allergies or musty smells.

Our Swan Hill cleaning team offers commercial, school, window, carpet, and deep cleaning services to keep your space fresh, safe, and welcoming—top to bottom, front to back.
