A dustpan is a convenient tool to use that often comes to the rescue when cleaning an apartment.

After all, it is this blade that collects dust and other dirt collected by the broom.

Then all this garbage goes into the bucket, and the floor becomes clean.

However, using a dustpan comes with one small difficulty: a strip of dust often remains in front of the tool.

As a result, the hostess has to go over the flooring with a broom again.

Sometimes even repeated action is ineffective. And then it becomes necessary to remove the dirt with a cloth or napkin.

But cleaning will be much easier if you stick some tape on the dustpan.

How to apply tape correctly

The adhesive tape should be attached to the front of the dustpan. As a result, the gap between the tool and the floor covering will disappear.

The dust will fall into the shovel without any problems. During cleaning, there will be no streaks of dirt left on the floor.

There is an important nuance: it is advisable to use masking tape, not transparent scotch tape. Only paper material is suitable for "upgrading" the scoop.
