## **Why Put a Plastic Bag on a Broom?**
* **Better Hair and Dust Pickup:** The smooth plastic creates static electricity, which attracts and holds onto dust, pet hair, and fine particles that often slip past a regular broom.
* **Easier to Clean:** After sweeping, simply remove the plastic bag and toss out the trapped debris, avoiding the mess of sweeping dust everywhere.
* **Protects the Broom Bristles:** The bag reduces wear on the bristles, extending the life of your broom.
