How to use "Sweeping" in context?
When it comes to cleaning, people often think of sweeping as a quick and easy solution. But sweeping isn't always the best option-especially if you have carpets that are machine-woven or have deep pile. In these cases, a sweeper with a wide brush could damage your carpet. A better approach is to use a vacuum cleaner with a crevice tool or a dusting brush.
