While vacuum cleaners are slowly replacing brooms as for us we discarded our vacuum cleaner and we are back with our faithful brooms brooms
We have brooms both made from coconut fronds and grass. The coconut frond brooms made at home while those made from grass are bought
While the vacuum cleaner needs a lot of pampering the brooms only need a corner when not in use
Development for the sake of development is not always a good idea
Do you have a vacuum cleaner. Have you ever used brooms?

@wolfgirl569 Does that need any maintenance as opposed to brooms?

I still use brooms, but some jobs are just better done with a vacuum.

They are the best To set the vacuum cleaner takes time and then to pull it a part takes more time.

@cacay1 I must be honest. I will not be worried about money but the the pampering it requires.

Absolutely! I've gone back to using brooms too, and it's been quite a refreshing change. They're low maintenance and eco-friendly, unlike vacuum cleaners that need so much attention. Plus, there's something nostalgic about using traditional brooms made from coconut fronds and grass. Development should be thoughtful and considerate of our environment. How about you? Do you prefer brooms or have you stuck with a vacuum cleaner?
