🧦 I Put a Sock on the Broom and the Result Surprised Me

Sometimes the best cleaning hacks come from pure desperation—or boredom. In my case, it was both.

It started as one of those “I’ll just tidy up real quick” kind of afternoons, the kind that spirals into a full-on domestic adventure. I reached for my broom to sweep under the couch, but there was a problem: no matter how many times I swept, there were still dust bunnies clinging to the hardwood like they paid rent.

Frustrated, I looked around and saw a lonely old sock sitting in the laundry basket.

That’s when the lightbulb went off.


đź§ą The Sock + Broom Experiment

Out of sheer curiosity (and maybe slight laziness), I slipped the sock over the head of the broom like a little cotton hat. It fit surprisingly well. I secured it with a rubber band for good measure and gave it a go.

The moment I ran it under the couch, I knew I had stumbled onto something brilliant.

The sock picked up everything.
Dust. Hair. Crumbs. Glitter (don’t ask).
It was like my broom had been reborn as a high-powered, lint-attracting cleaning tool.


đź§Ľ Why It Works

The secret? Static electricity + soft fabric.

Cotton socks—especially older ones—build up a small charge and cling to dust particles. Add the flexibility of the broom handle, and you suddenly have a DIY dusting wand that can reach places your Swiffer can’t.

It’s perfect for:

  • Under furniture
  • Baseboards
  • Ceiling corners
  • Window blinds
  • Behind TVs or radiators

And best of all? You can toss the sock in the laundry when you’re done and use it again.
