The problem with traditional sweeping is familiar to many.

As you sweep, the broom bristles trap dirt, dust, and hair.

The unpleasant task of removing this debris from the broom often falls to our bare hands – a less than desirable chore.

The soap hack is straightforward and effective.

By placing two rubber bands on a soap dish, you can prevent the soap from sitting in water and becoming mushy.

First, clean and dry your soap dish thoroughly.

Then, take a rubber band, fold it in half, and place it along one side of the dish.

Repeat this with a second rubber band on the opposite side.

This creates a raised platform that keeps the soap dry and firm.

Now, back to the main event: the sweeping hack.

You’ll need a plastic bag, some tape, and your trusty broom.

The first step is to place the broom inside the plastic bag.

Secure the bag around the broom with tape or simply by tying it.

This might seem odd at first, but as you start sweeping, you’ll notice a significant difference.

The dirt and hair collect with the outside of the bag, instead of clinging to the broom’s bristles.

In the video, they explain:

“Since the material of the plastic bag helps the hair stick to it, and in this way it becomes easier to sweep the floor of our house.”

This method is not only effective but also time-saving.

It spares you the unpleasant task of cleaning the broom afterwards.

It’s a game-changer for those who value cleanliness and efficiency.
