Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this method damage my broom?
A: Not at all! The sock acts as a protective layer, preventing scratches and wear on the broom bristles or head.
Q: Can I use any sock?
A: Cotton socks work best because of their texture and stretch. Avoid thick wool socks that may be too bulky or loose.
Q: How often should I wash the sock?
A: After every few uses or once it looks visibly dirty, washing will maintain cleanliness and dust-trapping efficiency.
Q: Is this method suitable for pet hair?
A: Yes! The fabric traps pet hair effectively, making it easier to clean floors and furniture.
Q: Can I use this for outdoor sweeping?
A: While possible, it’s best for indoor use to keep the sock clean and functional longer.
