How To Sweep

Friday October 17, 2008
Have brooms become an obsolete cleaning tool? After all, we have all kinds of machines designed to perform our household needs. The broom may be going the way of the washboard. In my home though, there are still a lot of jobs that I trust to my broom. Find out the basics of how to sweep, as well as some tips to help you care for your broom.

I love sweeping and find that nothing beats it really. Plus I think it is great for the waistline.

I adopted the Swiffer a year ago and cannot go back. It works better than a broom, however, I still have a broom because there are things to sweep that a Swiffer can’t do (like my front and back porch).
