Everything in your home needs a good deep-clean on a regular basis, but are there certain items in your home that you’re cleaning too often? While there’s nothing wrong with ensuring that your home is a safe, clean space, we thought it might be helpful to point out a few items that don’t need a deep-clean as often as you may think.
Plus, if you’re feeling like you never get a break from cleaning, here’s your sign that you can press pause on at least a few areas in your home.
Furniture Slipcovers
Unless you have messy little ones who use your pristine, white kitchen chair covers as target practice for their SpaghettiOs, you don’t need to be washing your slipcovers every week. It’s best to spot-clean them first, and if the stain is bad, you can always throw them into the washer on a rinse-only cycle. Be sure to always check your slipcover tags for specific care instructions.
You can get by with washing your slipcovers—yes, even the couch and pillow covers—about once or twice a year, according to Reviewed.com. Washing them too frequently could result in premature wear on the fabric.
