Sweeping hack
Step 1: Prepare the dustpan
Take your dustpan and flip it over so that the bottom is facing up. This is the side that usually comes into contact with the floor.
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.
Step 3: Sweep as usual
Now, with the tape in place, sweep your floors as you normally would. The tape will effectively pick up and trap the dirt, leaving no lines or debris behind.
Step 4: Dispose of dirt easily
When you're finished sweeping, disposing of the collected dirt is a breeze. Simply remove the tape from the bottom of the dustpan, and you're ready to go.
