The Plastic Bag on Broom Trick: Say Goodbye to Your Vacuum
—
## **How to Do It**
1. **Choose the Right Bag:** Use a clean, sturdy plastic grocery or produce bag.
2. **Cover the Broom:** Stretch the bag over the broom’s bristles so that it fits snugly and covers the entire sweeping area.
3. **Sweep as Usual:** Move the broom gently across your floor. The plastic bag will attract and hold dust, hair, and crumbs.
4. **Dispose:** Once done, carefully peel off the bag and throw it away with the trapped dirt.

## **When to Use This Trick**

* Cleaning up pet hair, which is notoriously difficult to sweep up.
* Quick touch-ups between deeper cleans.

## **Additional Tips**
* Replace the plastic bag regularly to maintain effectiveness.
* For extra cleaning power, slightly dampen the plastic bag with water to boost static and stickiness (test first on a small area).
* Combine this trick with a microfiber mop for a thorough dust and hair cleanup.
