The Tool That Makes It Easier To Lift Furniture By Yourself For A Deeper Clean

Trying to clean hard-to-reach areas like underneath the couch, fridge, or cabinet can be a hassle. On most days, you might just choose to ignore them, but on the days you actually want to address the issue, you might try an easy hack like using a blow dryer to bring out the dirt. Still, the best thing is to actually get under there so you can clean more thoroughly. A tool that can help you lift your furniture is a set of furniture jacks. These will take away the stress of having to have someone (or you!) hold things up while you clean with that brush or mop.

With furniture jacks simplifying the process, you should make it a habit to clean underneath those surfaces more often. Dust and allergens often stay there for long periods, affecting the air quality of the room even though the rest of it is clean. Other types of dirt left in those hidden areas can cause smells or attract rodents, so it's important to pay attention to them.

The advantages of a pair of furniture jacks

Similar to a car jack, a furniture jack is fixed onto the base of what you want to lift and the height is then adjusted by hand, not by foot. It's important for the surface you're placing the jack on to be stable so it doesn't move and fall, as that can harm you. Once the item is raised, still make sure the jack is secured so it stays in place as you move underneath it. This tool offers a life-altering way to clean under the bed, or under the couch.

Consider this 2 pack construction jack. They have ergonomic handles and very stable bases to reduce the chance of dropping the thing you're lifting. While the jacks themselves are light and easy to carry, they can lift up to 420 pounds and buyers have used them to lift things like refrigerators and chicken coop gates while they repair them.
