#cleaning-hack

In an Instagram Reel, creator @alyssalanemcnair demonstrates using a leaf blower indoors to push debris out from under furniture, along baseboards, and out of tight, hard-to-reach spaces. The concept is simple: Instead of vacuuming or sweeping, you use the airflow to move dirt, dust, and debris out from areas traditional tools struggle to reach. It sounds chaotic (and it definitely looks dramatic), but in practice, it's surprisingly strategic - especially if you're intentional about where the mess is being directed.

It's simple: Spritz the broom with a cleaner before sweeping. When I asked her why, she shrugged and said, "It helps with the hair." Turns out, the reason it works has less to do with the hair itself and more to do with static electricity. Pet fur picks up static charges from rubbing against carpets, furniture, and fabric (or maybe that perpetually squashed dog bed). That's why it's so stubborn to sweep up.
