Sweeping is the act of cleaning a surface, typically a floor, by using a broom to gather dust, dirt, and debris into a pile. This process is often done in homes, offices, and public spaces to maintain cleanliness and hygiene. The broom, a common cleaning tool, consists of a long handle and bristles that effectively collect particles from various surfaces. In addition to traditional brooms, there are also specialized sweeping tools like dustpans and vacuum cleaners that can assist in the cleaning process. Sweeping is an essential part of regular housekeeping and contributes to a healthier living environment by reducing allergens and preventing the buildup of dirt.
