Many cleaning tools are still not automated, no matter the level of technological advancement human society has experienced. Some of such cleaning tools include brooms, mops and brushes. To do the work they are supposed to do, there will always be the need to take good care of them.
Brooms
Always hang brooms to keep the bristles in shape. If there is no hole in the handle, simply drill a quarter inch hole, thread a nylon cord through, and tie in a knot. A handy hanging loop can be provided.
To clean, dip in hot sudsy water. Rinse and dry with a rubber band around the bristles so they can keep their form.
Mops
Sponge mops should be washed, rinsed and kept upside down to dry after each use in sudsy water. After rinsing, shake out to separate the strings and allow to air dry upside down.
If there is no intention to shake out the mop outside, put it in a plastic or paper bag and hold the closed bag around the handle to remove dust.
Once in a while, remove the mop head, and launder it to remove embedded dirt.
Scrub brushes
After each use, wash the brush in hot sudsy water. In clear water, rinse, shake out and let air dry the bristles down.
