RE: a very simple task? Sweeping your flors?Re: [BlindHandyMan] porch ligh
Hello Blake, I would use a commercial dust mop for this task. They are from 24 to 36 inches wide and will do a really good job of gathering all of the crud and directing it to wherever it is that you want it. Most commercial mops are electrostatic so they really do tend to collect everything and they are not very expensive. You will need the mop itself and the handle. The handle will probably last yo for the rest of your life.

Sweeping your flors?Re: [BlindHandyMan] porch ligh Hi all, we have hardwood flors in our house and most of the time i just vacume it and it works out fine but sometimes i think it would be better swept. The problem is how do you guys go about doing this in a large room? Do you use a dust pan and sweep the stuff just towards it around that are in grid paterns? Problem i seem to miss te dust pan hhahaha. I know this isn't exactly a blind handy man question but i thought maybe it would pass. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I can not give you advice on sweeping however, it is most definitely on topic. you are seeking help on doing a task as a blind individual. moderator -- From: Blake Hardin blakehardin5...@gmail.com Sent: Saturday, September 04, 2010 7:37 AM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: a very simple task?

Aloha Blake, I think this is definitely a handyman question. If I am sweeping in the house, I will often sweep all the dust to a corner and then it is easier to get down on the floor and, using a papertowel or a cloth, you can push the dirt right into the dust pan. When you're done, you can also use a damp cloth to get the very fine dust that will probably still be there.
