Hello lkbooi. Ours is a tile floor, so we usually use a broom to sweep it first before we mop the floor. We have never used a vacuum cleaner yet as a broom and a mop are good enough for our house. Take care, friend.

Hi jisir, to mop the tile floor after sweeping with broom will make it much cleaner and more shining.
I like tile floor. It makes our house to look much refreshing and decent as well. All the floors of my house are covered with different types of floor tiles. The floor tiles of the sitting room, bed rooms, kitchen as well as the bathroom are of different colors.
It’s much easier and convenient to keep them clean. I use the vacuum cleaner in every other month to clean the floors thoroughly for every corner of the house as well as those underneath the beds, cupboards, shelves and etc. My husband’s elder sister would scrub the tile floor near the stove in the kitchen after finishing cooking as the cooking oil and other stuffs using in her cooking always would make the floor looks indecent.

Really sanuanu, besides to do the cleaning of spacious floor vacuum is quite useful for us to suck away the disgusting dust sitting amidst those narrow gaps, seams and slot of our devices and gadgets which our hands could hardly reach them. Yeah, I always try not to take the trouble to do the complicated job. Sometime I use the hair dryer to blow away the dust rests amidst the thin and narrow spaces on my keyboard.
I prefer to use vacuum most of the time for the dust won’t fly freely like what it does when using the broom to do the floor cleaning.

if the area is carpeted i prefer using a vacuum cleaner,if not a broom..but when i do feel strtching my arms and sweating a little, i use the broom. i get my dose of exercise and it is more economical nowadays to use manual labor than things that rund in electricity or gas..

Yeah JOIEMARVIC, I think to use a vacuum cleaner is easier than to use a broom to clean the floor with carpet covered. It’s quite difficult to let the broom to move smoothly on the carpet. No wonder you would sweat as you have to use extra strength to stretch your arms to do the difficult moving work on the carpet. Yeah, I agree with you that using a broom to do the cleaning chore we could cut down the consuming of electricity using, as well as to save the expense on electricity. What’s more sweeping floor using a broom is a form of good physical exercise.
Happy

Hi dian, l like your current avatar very much and I always couldn’t help laughing once at the sight of it
Your post looks so sexy in the avatar.
I wonder why you always in a hurry! I think your broom couldn’t serve its purpose well and have led you to the wrong direction. I hope you would get another better quality broom like Harry Potter’s or might be there is thick fog in your place and to cause you couldn’t see your previous response #25 just above this completely lol I doubt whether mylot would pay you for the second response.
Hehe... I know you never turn on the notification like what I have done, so you couldn’t tackle any information of my recent developments. Yeah, I have started a new discussion 4 days back. I’m so happy that there are only three more responses left for me to leave comments on them. Hope to see you always here my dear Bali gal.
Wish you all the best and happy New Year 2009!

Selamat Hari Raya Adifitri (happy fasting festival) dian. I hope you enjoy your wonderful festive season with your family in your hometown happily.
While reading the book about the game, guidict, I could hardly figure out how Harry Potter playing the game riding on the broom in the air. After watching the movie I then come to know that was really exciting to see them playing this wonderful game.
I’m looking forward to seeing you posting here again. You will reach your hostel here much faster by riding the broom.
Take care and bye .....

I have a vacuum cleaner at home, but most of the time I like to use a broom. As it will be much more convenient. My vacuum cleaner is expensive, so it's bigger and heavier. So it is no need to use such a big machine to clean little part only.

Hi sue, to use a mop to clean the wooden floors would be much cleaner than to use a broom. It’s always easier and more convenient to clean floor of smaller surface I don't like to take the trouble to get ready the vacuum before using it and to do the cleaning after using it.
posting and take care.

About 90% of my home has carpeting on the floors. Only two of the rooms do not have carpeting. So I mostly vacuum the room, although I sometimes there were no carpets. Brooms are sometimes a whole lot easier because you don't have to lug a big machine around, but a vacuum gets the mess up better. It's a double edge sword unfortunately.

Yeah CRSunrise, the cleaning work of floor would become easier, more convenient and efficient if we use the correct way and tool to clear it. I usually would use a vacuum cleaner to clean the floor spread with carpet, whereas to use a broom to clean small surface of floor without carpet on it. We don’t use any carpet to cover the floor of our house, so my husband’s sister prefers to use a broom to sweep the floor daily
I have seen many well design and beautiful carpets when I visited a carpet factory end of last year. I have got the knowledge after the visiting and know that those carpets made from genuine silks are quite expensive and durable for life as well. No wonder they are so expensive in price. Well the carpet on the floor would make the room to look decent and lively. Our kids would feel comfortable and warm as well to sit on the carpet to do their favorite indoor hobbies

Yeah, I totally agree with you that both the vacuum cleaner and the broom are the essential cleaning equipments in the home. For me, surely I would find great difficulty if I miss either one of them. I am allergic to dust so for cleaning those dusty and wider areas the vacuum cleaner is a must for me. I use a broom for cleaning the floor of smaller area.

When I have to help my mom I use both. First I use the broom to clean the room to a corner, and then I turn the vacuum cleaner and vacuum the corner. This way I can economise energy and I do some arm exercise.

Hi,Ikbooi, i'm the same as you .yes, a vacuum cleaner is more useful than a broom when you live in a big room ,but it is needless for a small area.
