A household cleaning hack involving attaching tape to a broom before sweeping has gained attention for helping collect lint, hair, and small particles. The sticky side of the tape acts as a catcher for debris that regular sweeping often misses. The Economic Times reports that the method is simple: cut a piece of tape, attach it to the broom bristles with the sticky side down, and sweep as usual. Users should test the tape on a small area first, especially on delicate floors, and remove the tape after cleaning to avoid sticky residue.
