Cleaning is one of those tasks that everyone has to do, but not many people love. However, with a simple trick involving a plastic bag and your broom, you can make your cleaning routine much more efficient. This genius hack is perfect for tackling dust, pet hair, and even hard-to-reach places, making your broom far more versatile than you ever imagined.
Why It Works:
Placing a plastic bag over your broom creates a static effect, which attracts dust, hair, and small debris much better than a regular broom sweep. It can also help pick up fine particles that often get left behind with a traditional broom.
How to Use the Plastic Bag and Broom Hack:
1. For Dust and Pet Hair
If you have pets or deal with a lot of dust and hair, this hack can help you sweep it all up without the usual hassle of it flying everywhere.
Instructions:
- Take a standard plastic grocery or trash bag and place it over the broom’s bristles.
- Tie or secure the bag around the broom handle, making sure the bag is snug but still loose enough to cover the bristles.
- Sweep your floors as usual. The plastic bag creates a static charge that attracts dust, pet hair, and fine particles, making it easier to collect everything in one go.
Bonus Tip: You can also rub the plastic bag gently across the broom to increase the static charge before sweeping.
2. Clean Ceilings, Walls, and Hard-to-Reach Areas
Your broom can do more than just clean the floors! Use this hack to dust ceilings, corners, and other high or hard-to-reach areas without needing to pull out a ladder.
Instructions:
- Cover your broom with a plastic bag, as mentioned earlier.
- Use the broom to reach up and clean dust from ceilings, fans, or walls.
- The plastic bag will collect dust without the mess falling onto the floor.
3. Wet Cleaning for Spills and Sticky Messes
If you need to clean up a sticky spill or a wet mess, the plastic bag over your broom can help with that too.
