Sweeping a floor with a broom involves gathering loose debris into a manageable pile and then disposing of it. Here's a breakdown of the process:
-
Gather Your Supplies: You'll need a broom, a dustpan, and a garbage can. A small brush can also be helpful for getting debris into the dustpan.
-
Start in a Corner: Begin sweeping in a corner of the room and work your way outwards. This ensures you don't trap debris in hard-to-reach areas.
-
Sweep in Short Strokes: Use short, overlapping strokes to gather the debris. Avoid long, sweeping motions, as this can spread the dirt around.
-
Collect Debris into a Pile: Sweep the dirt and debris into a central pile.
-
Use a Dustpan: Position the dustpan flat on the floor and carefully sweep the pile of debris into the dustpan. A small brush can help to push stubborn debris into the pan. If using a longer broom, consider having someone hold the dustpan steady.
-
Dispose of Debris: Empty the dustpan into a garbage can.
-
Repeat as Needed: Repeat the process until the floor is clean.
By using short strokes and carefully collecting the debris, you can effectively sweep a floor with a broom and keep your space clean.
