Most households have at least one broom. They are used daily for cleaning, so it is hard to avoid the accumulation of dirt and bacteria. That is why you need to know how to properly store a broom to prevent the intrusion of bacteria and dirt into your living space.

Since ancient times, there have been three places in the house where adults always admonish not to place a broom. This is not superstition but has been scientifically proven, and you should apply it to your daily life.

1. Do not place a broom in the corner of the living room

Many people are unaware and often place a broom in the corner of the living room for the convenience of frequent use throughout the day. However, you need to remember that the living room is considered the face of the house. The sight of brooms leaning in a corner will affect the aesthetics of the living space and create a negative impression on guests.

In addition, the living room is also an area where we spend a lot of time. The dust in the broom will directly adhere to clothes and the air, especially on dry days. This has a negative impact on the respiratory system, especially for the elderly and children.

2. Do not place brooms on both sides of the entrance

Many people have the habit of placing brooms next to the entrance. And every time you open or close the door, the broom handle often gets stuck in the door crack, causing the broom to break easily.

The most important thing to note is that with each door opening, the wind from outside blows into the house, carrying the dust accumulated in the broom into the air. So, if you have this habit, you need to change it immediately.

3. Do not place brooms in the bathroom

Placing brooms inside the bathroom is also a common habit in many households. But you forget that the bathroom, with its low humidity, is an ideal place for bacteria to thrive. And every time you use a broom, you are spreading bacteria throughout your living space.

So, where is the proper place to store a broom? It is in a storage cabinet. When designing a storage cabinet in your house, allocate a small compartment to use as a storage space for brooms. This way, you not only maintain the aesthetics of your living space but also prevent the dispersion of dust and bacteria from the brooms into the air.
