Although, at first, it may seem like a household chore without any mystery, sweeping well also has its tricks and technique. Above all, when we do not have a vacuum cleaner at home with which to complement the cleaning of the floor, it can get complicated the removal of hair, dust or small crumbs. However, there is an infallible method to leave it so clean that you can eat in it, and without having to connect any device to the electrical current.
To run this trick, you only need a glass and a plastic bag. What you are going to do, when you have both, is completely cover the broom brush with the bag. To do this, make a knot with the handles and that it is well attached.
The next step is to sweep in the same way as always. With the difference that, on this occasion, you will see how hair and dust stick to the plastic. This will not only leave the floor spotless, the brush will also look like gold jets when you remove the bag and throw it away.
It’s not witchcraft, it’s called static electricitywhich occurs when the plastic in the bag brushes the ground, attracting any type of particles that are scattered around your home. You may not be able to appreciate it with the naked eye, but it is the same that occurs when we put a plastic balloon near our hair.
However, it is a trick that is not only applied to tiles or floors but also It works with any surface, even on carpets or sofas. Even using some old socks instead of a plastic bag, if you prefer to reuse that pair of socks that you have torn.
