This viral sweeping hack from TikTok will leave your floors spotless

When sweeping your floors, it's not uncommon to have pet hair, dirt, or grime left behind when using a broom and dustpan. You can forget about missing some of that hard-to-get debris with this spot-on solution, though.

TikTok user Michele Mendoza shared an incredible cleaning hack on the popular app, and you will be absolutely obsessed. Mendoza posted a video sweeping dirt and debris into a pile. The TikToker then sprayed the mound of debris with citrus-smelling Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Multi-Surface Cleaner Spray that's great for removing dirt, in addition to being safe to use on wood floors and other surfaces. Next, Mendoza took a paper towel and scooped up the mess without a single hair left behind. The TikToker explained that she prefers this method, because a dust pan "always leaves that little line of dust" behind. 

Mendoza also noted in the video comments that water is a sufficient alternative. (Although we can appreciate this no-cost idea, be sure not to leave any H20 behind so that it doesn't harm your hardwood or laminate flooring.) There were even a few TikTok users who chimed in, saying their parents used Windex for this TikTok hack. However, with its harsh ammonia ingredient, we would advise against using Windex on your hardwood floors, and keep it for its original purpose of cleaning glass surfaces. Cheers to spotless, hair-free, and gleaming floors, because your cleaning just got easier.
