Use your manual carpet sweeper on hard-surface floors, indoor-outdoor carpets, stairways, fuzzy shag carpets, tile floors, and in recreational vehicles and boats.
Regular cleaning is important for the wear and appearance of your carpet. Unless quickly removed, small sharp grit particles can become embedded and damage your carpet fibers. Without hauling out your heavy-duty vacuum, or even electric broom, use a cordless carpet sweeper to pick up the daily debris that finds its way to your floors and carpets.
Carpet sweepers generally require no electric power, hence no need to hunt for an outlet or deal with tangle-prone cords. Some models do use a battery, but those styles plug into charge units, so still, no need to drag a cord around as you sweep. Carpet sweepers have long, slender handles, like a mop, and a base similar, though smaller, than a vacuum head. Its dustpan is built-in, allowing you to simply run it over the carpet, with lint, hair and crumbs magically disappearing inside.
For decades the carpet sweeper has been considered an essential component of the household broom closet, especially with indoor/outdoor carpeting becoming a popular flooring choice for kitchens and bathrooms. Carpeting on boats and recreational vehicles, rustic cabin getaways, carpeted screened porches – all created a necessity for a convenient, easily stored, non-electric carpet sweeper.
Back in the 1870s, the Bissell Company of Grand Rapids, Michigan, designed and manufactured the modern day carpet sweeper we know today, and the Bissell brand remains a market leader. Other popular carpet sweepers are made by Fuller Brush, Oreck (the Hoky series), Housekeeper's Best Carpet Sweeper, and the Euro-Pro/Shark cordless carpet sweeper.
Improve the efficiency of your carpet sweeper:
If your sweeper is failing to pick up lint, thread and other similar debris, try lightly wetting the brushes before use.
How to maintain your carpet sweeper
After each use, empty the sweepers' dust pan. Also, "comb out" its brush bristles to release crumbs and other particles that may not have ended up in the pan.
An inexpensive carpet sweeper offers a wealth of cleaning solutions in a variety of settings!
