Store your “broom bag” by keeping a few plastic bags near your cleaning supplies for easy access.
Reuse when possible—if the bag isn’t torn or too dirty, rinse and dry it to reuse.
Works best on hardwood, laminate, tile, and vinyl floors.
Variations:
Anti-static boost: Lightly mist the bag with water before sweeping to trap even more particles.
Dryer sheet trick: Wrap a used dryer sheet instead of a plastic bag for a scented clean.
Furniture hack: Wrap a smaller bag over a hand brush to dust furniture and baseboards.
FAQ:
Q: How does this work without suction?
A: The plastic bag creates static electricity as it rubs against the floor and bristles—this attracts lightweight debris like a magnet.
Q: Will this work on carpet?
A: It’s best on hard surfaces. For carpets or rugs, a vacuum or carpet rake is more effective.
Q: Can I use any type of plastic bag?
A: Thin grocery or shopping bags work best. Avoid thick or stiff plastic bags, which don’t create enough static.
Q: Is this safe for all floors?
A: Yes, as long as you sweep gently and avoid abrasive movement. Always test in a small corner if unsure.
Q: Can it replace vacuuming entirely?
A: For quick clean-ups—absolutely. But for deep cleaning, especially carpets, a vacuum is still best.
