The plastic bag builds up a static charge as you sweep.
The broom bristles agitate dust, hair, and crumbs — lifting them from the floor.
The static charge pulls in and holds the debris — like a magnet made of grocery bags.
No suction.
No cords.
No filters to wash.
Just plastic, friction, and physics .
And it’s weirdly satisfying.
How to Do the Plastic Bag Broom Hack – In 3 Easy Steps
Step 1: Grab a Plastic Bag
Any clean grocery bag works — the kind you’ve got stuffed in a drawer or dangling from your fridge handle.
Bonus points if it’s slightly dusty — like it’s been waiting for this moment.
Step 2: Stretch It Over the Broom
Flip your broom upside down
Stretch the plastic bag over the bristle end
Pull it down tightly — like you’re putting a hat on a very serious brush
Tuck the edges under the bristles to keep it secure
No tape needed.
No knots.
Just tension.
Step 3: Sweep Like a Genius
Sweep as you normally would — across hardwood, tile, or even low-pile carpet.
Watch as:
Hair clings to the bag like it’s glued
Crumbs stick instead of scattering
Dust doesn’t just get pushed around — it vanishes
When the bag starts looking like a fuzzy science experiment?
Pull it off.
Tie it shut.
Toss it in the trash.
And that’s it.
No emptying a canister.
No washing a filter.
No “Why is my vacuum making a wheezing noise?” panic.
Just clean floors.
Zero drama.
