You know the drill: you sweep the floor, only to find your broom looks like a furry creature afterward, laden with dust and hair.

The traditional solution? Picking it out with your fingers (ew!), a task as unappealing as it sounds.

The viral video spills the beans: you only need a plastic bag, some tape, and your trusty broom.

Oh, and there’s a bonus hack for keeping your soap dry with just a couple of rubber bands—because why not tackle two nuisances at once?
