For this trick you don’t need a whole lemon, but rather its juice. However, before proceeding, the broom needs to be cleaned. In fact, it is a tool that we use every day but that we do not always think about cleaning. To do this, you must beat or comb the bristles well.
Cleaning the broom should be done outdoors as large amounts of dust can be released. For example, think about hitting the broom against an outside wall or patio.
Over time, setolas become rigid . This is where lemon juice comes into play. Specifically, you need two or three lemons. Juice them manually or with a lemon squeezer . Next you need to heat the juice. Soaking the bristles should take about ten minutes.
Alternatively, you can spray some juice onto the broom head, which will soften the bristles. This allows them to absorb dirt better. The service life of your broom will be significantly longer.
Also remember that you should always hang your broom or turn it upside down to make it last longer. This does not affect the ergonomics of the bristles.
Next, you need to turn the broom upside down. This way it can dry properly. Only then is it possible to reuse the tool. Try it to believe it!
