By Lilias

Have you ever thought about recycling old brooms instead of throwing them away? If you use them this way they are very useful. Here’s how.

The broom is a tool that is used for cleaning and helps with household chores  . But at some point it becomes impossible to use when it is old and no longer does its job as it should. What you don’t know is that you shouldn’t throw it away because you can recycle and reuse it.

You will help the environment as the broom is made entirely of plastic and  even when it is old and there is nothing else to do you can continue using it  . Surely not as you think, as it will no longer be used for cleaning, but we will find an alternative use for it and thus give it a new life.

So, below we will see how to transform old brooms into an object to use during your daily activities. You  will almost certainly be surprised and will immediately try to use it in this way to avoid buying other household items  . This is what an old broom can do for you.

Old brooms: this is how you can reuse them

As we have said,  an old broom should not be thrown away but can be reused and given a second life  . The ideas are varied and we are going to see some of them. So take your old broom and come see how you can use it for some time. Here are some ideas, then it is up to you to use your imagination.

One of the first ideas to use an old broom is to make a brush for a deeper cleaning of the toilet  . All you need to do is get some scissors and a sharp knife. You will have to divide your old broom into three equal parts and in this case use the central part that has the hole to fix the handle.

Also adjust the length of the bristles depending on the area you want to clean. Before proceeding with cleaning, then remember to thoroughly disinfect the toothbrush you created with bleach or another disinfectant to be able to  eliminate bacteria  . And here is the first way to use an old broom.

For the second method, take one of the cut parts of the broom.  In fact, you don’t have to throw them away because they can be useful. In this case, with the help of scissors, shorten the bristles of the broom because you won’t need them so long. Disinfect them once more with bleach and then take your shoes.

In fact, before washing them  you can brush the sole of the shoes,  the one that touches the floor, which is usually very dirty. But not only that, you can also use this brush to clean carpets or other surfaces. Remember, however, that this brush is not at all delicate and therefore be careful where you use it.

So we use an old broom and avoid throwing it away. With creativity you can reuse many objects and also save a lot of money. You just have to imagine other uses, there will surely be others.
