They are great. I remember my mom bot having one when I was very little. She would wet a newspaper and put the wet edge on the floor and sweet the dirt onto it. It worked!

Oh yes I do agree. The ones with the handle for me now for years. love your posts. You remind me so often that there is no such thing as the mundane Everything we use and do has an importance attached to it. Thank you.

Re: Absolutely! Mine has a handle so I don't need to bend down.

Sometimes when I do not feel like Hovering the stairs I use a stiff brush and a dustpan and a mask of course.

FSI, you are so right!  We have a dust pan and use it all the time.

Without dustpans, we would sweep dirt out the door, and that is bad luck to do.
