When there’s no more, there’s always more! Dust gets everywhere, even in the hardest to reach places. We often realize this at the end: after emptying the trash, polishing the bathroom, cleaning the windows and finishing the broom… Everyday tips help make these kinds of tasks easier. This is the case for using glycerin when dusting, white vinegar for cleaning windows and this wealth of valuable information on easy, natural cleaning. In this article, discover how a plastic bag can help you reach the most inaccessible areas where dust resides.
Sweep into every nook and cranny with a plastic bag
Sweeping the broom is one of the essential household chores for living peacefully in a clean place. Unlike the vacuum cleaner, the broom does not retain dust. Instead, you have to make small piles and then pick them up with a shovel. Unless you use this tip: hang a plastic bag on the broom brush.
By hanging a plastic bag on the brush of your broom, dust will cling to it because of static electricity! No need to redo small piles. It works for dust as well as fur, hair and pills.
Once the broom has passed, turn the bag over and head for the trash. It is simple and efficient.
How to clean your broom after using it?
Has your broom become a dust nest? In this case, it’s time to clean it too. And there is no question of avoiding this step at the risk of leaving dirt lying around when trying to clean its interior.
If your broom is really dirty, fill a tray with lukewarm water and dilute it with white vinegar. Then place the broom in it and let it soak long enough for the dust to come off easily. By adding dishwashing liquid to the mixture, it helps remove the grease clinging to the broom. Let it dry well before using it again.
