20) Sweep The Indoors And Outdoors (20 of 21)

Most homeowners make the mistake of using the same broom for both indoor and outdoor cleaning. Another mistake they make is buying the wrong broom. To clean the indoors, they need to opt for a broom with finer bristles. For the outdoors, they need one with stiffer and stronger bristles.

If you are still unable to get rid of the accumulated dust and dirt effectively, you may be holding the broom wrong. Place one hand on the broom’s handle and the other in its center. Sweep the floor by pushing your hands in opposite directions.

Sweep the floor from the outside in to ensure you get all the spots and bring it to the center of the room so you can gather and throw it away easily.
