Keeping your house clean and tidy is not as easy as it may seem.

In fact, even if you clean your house every day, chances are, when you wake up the next day, there’s dirt or clutter to be cleaned.

Maybe this is the reason why videos about cleaning and organizing are so popular.

You may have seen how satisfying it actually is to see clutter being organized and dirt being cleaned.

YouTube channel “Simple & Fast” posted a video last year that gained over 4.2M views.

The video demonstrated how to sweep your floor efficiently without leaving more dirt on your broom.

Have you ever noticed that when you sweep your floor, your broom ends up getting all the dirt and hair?

What’s worse is that you have to remove all of this dirt and hair using your hands.

Yikes! This is something no one wants, right?

Then, it becomes sticky and part of the soap becomes soft.

With two rubber bands, you could prevent this and ensure that your soap stays dry.

First off, clean your soap dish and let it air dry.

Once ready, get one rubber band and fold it into two.

Secure the rubber band on one side of the soap dish.

Repeat the process and put the second rubber band on the other end.

That’s it. Place your soap there after using it and see how it works.

Now, moving on to the main cleaning hack, you’ll need a plastic bag, tape, and of course, your broom.

The first thing that you need to do is put your broom inside the plastic bag.

Secure the plastic using tape, or just by tying it.

You’d see how effective this hack would be.

Plus, you don’t have to clean the broom with your bare hands.

After gathering the dirt and hair on your dustpan, simply remove the plastic from your broom and that’s it.

It’s best to use plastic that is thick enough to withstand the sweeping friction and big enough so your broom would fit.
