Works-For-Me Hand Sweeper


OK, so this hasn't actually worked for me yet, but I saw that it worked for someone else and had to share it.

I was sitting behind my friend Teresa and her family a few Sundays ago at church. Her 3-year-old daughter had a poptart (we go at 8:00 a.m.) and was making a nice pile of crumbs on the floor. I couldn't figure out why Teresa would allow her child to desecrate the Lord's house in that way (sarcasm)--she just didn't care--until she whipped out of her diaper bag this thing and gave it to her daughter who cleaned up her own mess in two seconds. I'm weird, I know, but witnessing that scene gave me goosebumps and I told Teresa that I needed to share her tool on the blog. She said it's a hand sweeper that she purchase it at the local Don Aslett Cleaning Center. They are only $5.00 (plus $3-4 shipping) from a few places on the internet--just Google "crumb sweeper" to find one.

Updated: Teresa just told me that they were two for $5 at the Don Aslett store. Let's go!

Taffi,I bet if you go to a shopping center at the SE corner of Overland and Maple Grove in a town near you, you may just find a janitorial supply store that has them.
