When looking for a practical way to clean the home, some simple methods can help pick up dirt better while sweeping and reduce the effort of daily chores.
One of them consists of placing a plastic bag over the broom before starting to sweep. This simple resource is used as an alternative to make it easier to collect certain waste and make cleaning rooms more comfortable.
Why placing a plastic bag over the broom can make cleaning easier
A reused plastic bag can become a simple resource to complement traditional sweeping. By covering part of the broom bristles, the plastic material can promote the attraction of light debris that usually remains scattered on the floor.
This effect is related to the static electricity that can be generated by the contact and movement of the plastic. Therefore, the method can help pick up more easily items such as lint, hair, pet hair, and small dust particles during cleaning.

Another of the benefits of this method is that it can help prevent some dirt from sticking to the broom bristles, which makes subsequent cleaning easier and reduces the chance of the waste being redistributed around the room during sweeping.
In addition, it can be useful for reaching hard-to-reach areas, such as the space under beds, sofas, and low furniture. The technique can be used on different surfaces, including ceramic, porcelain tile, wood, vinyl, and laminate floors, always taking into account the characteristics and cleaning recommendations of each material.
How to apply the cleaning trick correctly
To correctly apply this cleaning technique, the following steps should be followed:
- When returning from the supermarket, save the bags.
- When you are going to sweep, wrap the bristles inside the bag.
- Use the strips to hold the handle and make a tight knot
- Make sure it is securely fastened so it does not come loose during sweeping.
- Sweep normally.
- When finished, all that will be needed is to untie the strips and turn the bag inside out so that the fine debris stays inside.
