Broom is mechanical and therefore, we get some exercise by using a broom over a vacuum cleaner. Broom can reach places which a vacuum cleaner. We get some exercise by bending for sweeping and this strengthens our backbone and there is no extra cost for electricity. A branded broom costs only 50 Indian Rupees whereas a branded vacuum cleaner can run into 8000 Indian Rupees 
. So, a broom is simply better!!

by shaking the carpet and spunking it outside we can clean the carpet, that is how we clean the carpet here in the Philippines if we don't have vacuum

Hi, If you tend to clean indoor ones especially carpeted floorings, you really need a vacuum. Those coconut broomsticks nor broom made of grass flowers and stalks or synthetic broom does not work on the caprpeted ones. It may be but it will take a longer time. While if you tend to clean and sweep your surroundings or cemented floorings, the latter ones will surely be very effective and useful. Using the electricity ran ones or the manually ran ones are either good ways for exercises as you need both to put and maintain an effort. By extension, of course man ran brooms are more earth friendly than the electricity ran brooms or vacuum as you particularly said.
Thanks.
Thanks.

i don't think it is necessary for this kind of house to use vacuum cleaners. our house is concreted and we don't have carpets. so we only use brooms to sweep and clean the floors.

We use broom instead of vacuum because you're right, it's chiefer than a vacuum cleaner. And we also got used to using brooms. Although using a vacuum cleaner will make cleaning easier.

In most places here, they use brooms because of their low cost and multipurpose. They can even ride over the broom at night and visit places. You know witches?

In my place it is brooms, brooms and more brooms. Vacuum cleaners are not used much Though most of the people have vacuum cleaners in their houses they are not usually used. They are just bought to show others that they have a vacuum cleaner. I use a combination of both for different things. I use the vacuum for cleaning my computer and curtains and broom for all other things.
