Choose the right broom for the job
The first step in effectively sweeping corners and hard-to-reach areas is choosing the right broom for the job. Look for a broom with a small, narrow head that can fit into tight spaces. A broom with soft synthetic bristles is also ideal, as it can easily sweep up dust and debris, even in tight corners.
Angle your broom for maximum reach
To effectively sweep corners and hard-to-reach areas, it’s important to angle your broom in the right way. Hold your broom at a slight angle, with the bristles facing the corner or hard-to-reach area. Use short, quick strokes to sweep up debris, moving the broom in a circular motion to get into all the nooks and crannies.
Use a dustpan to collect debris
When sweeping corners and hard-to-reach areas, it’s often difficult to collect debris using the broom alone. To make the process easier, use a dustpan to collect the debris as you sweep. You may need to hold the dustpan at a slightly different angle to get into tight spaces. Be sure to empty the dustpan regularly to avoid spilling debris and having to start over.
Consider using a handheld vacuum or brush
If you’re really struggling to get into tight spaces, consider using a handheld vacuum or brush instead of a broom. These tools are designed to get into even the smallest spaces, making them perfect for sweeping corners and other hard-to-reach areas. Just be sure to empty the vacuum or brush regularly to avoid clogging and to maintain suction power.
Clean your broom regularly
To ensure that your broom is effective at sweeping corners and hard-to-reach areas, it’s important to clean it regularly. Remove any debris that has accumulated on the bristles or head of the broom after each use. You can also wash your broom with warm, soapy water every few weeks to keep it in top condition. This will ensure that your broom is always clean and ready to tackle even the toughest sweeping jobs.
