Cleaning the floor with a traditional broom can be tricky when you have to pick up hair, pet fur, and small debris that tends to get stuck between the bristles. That’s why a simple solution has become popular on social media: putting a hairnet over the broom head.
The idea is to use the fine mesh of the hairnet to prevent hair from getting caught directly between the bristles, making it easier to collect and dispose of at the end of cleaning.
How the Broom Trick Works
The method is very simple. Take a clean hairnet and place it over the part of the broom that normally comes into contact with the floor.
The mesh should fit snugly around the bristles, but it shouldn’t be stretched too tightly. This way, when you sweep, hair and fur are caught on the surface of the mesh instead of getting tangled deep between the bristles.
Once you’re finished, simply remove the mesh and throw it away, or wash it if you’re using a reusable model.
Why It’s Especially Useful for Hair and Fur
Long hair and pet fur are among the most annoying types of debris to pick up with a traditional broom. They often become wrapped around the bristles and have to be removed by hand.
The mesh creates a collection surface that can make it easier to gather these residues.
The method can be especially convenient in homes with pets or where several people have long hair.
How to Prepare the Broom Before Cleaning
Before putting the hairnet on the broom, make sure the broom head is clean.
If there is already hair or dust between the bristles, remove it first. Then place the mesh over the bottom of the broom, making sure it is evenly positioned.
There’s no need to use glue, tape, or other fastening systems that could leave residue on the floor.
