Broom & Dustpan

How to Clean and Maintain a Broom and Dustpan

• After each use, remove any hair, dust, or debris from the broom bristles by tapping it against a hard surface or using a brush.

• Rinse the broom bristles with water and mild soap if necessary, then let it air dry completely before storing.

• Clean the dustpan by rinsing it with water and wiping it with a damp cloth or sponge.

• Check the dustpan for any cracks or damage and replace it if necessary to ensure proper functionality.

• Store the broom and dustpan in an upright position or hang them on hooks to prevent the bristles from getting bent or damaged.

Tips for Efficient Sweeping with a Broom and Dustpan

• Start by clearing the area of any large debris or objects that may hinder the sweeping process.

• Hold the broom at a slight angle and use long, sweeping motions to gather the dirt and debris into a pile.

• Sweep the pile into a dustpan by gently guiding it towards the dustpan with the broom bristles.

• Tilt the dustpan slightly towards the floor to create a seal and prevent debris from falling out.

• Carefully lift the dustpan, keeping it level, and empty the contents into a trash bag or bin.

• To ensure a thorough clean, go over the area again if needed, paying attention to corners and edges.
