The Benefits of Wetting Your Dustpan
To prevent lightweight debris from escaping your dustpan while sweeping, wet the dustpan by running it under the faucet for a few seconds before use. This simple trick helps the dust, hair, paper bits, and lint stick to the dustpan instead of being blown away by air currents. After emptying the dustpan, a quick rinse or wipe will ensure it is clean and ready for future use.
