2: Apply tape to the dustpan

  • Cut a piece of tape and stick it to the bottom of the dustpan.
  • Ensure that the tape covers the entire width of the dustpan's bottom.
  • Press down on the tape to ensure it adheres well to the dustpan. This tape will act as a barrier, preventing dirt and debris from sticking to the dustpan.
