Vacuum cleaners, mops and brooms are your reliable tools to maintain your house clean and nice.

To keep your house clean, you can't just choose one - it's better to use all three methods when needed.

Let's see when it's better to use each of them.

Vacuuming

You should vacuum when you see dirt, dust, or crumbs on your floors. It's especially useful for carpets, rugs, and areas with a lot of foot traffic. 

Vacuum at least once a week to keep your floors clean and remove hidden dirt.

Sweeping

Sweeping is good for quickly getting rid of loose dirt, like sand, dirt, or pet hair. You should sweep when you notice your floors look messy or dusty. 

It's a fast way to keep things tidy, but it may not pick up everything, like wet spills.

Mopping

Mopping is for cleaning up sticky or wet messes, spills, or when you want your floors to look shiny and clean. 

You don't need to mop as often as you sweep or vacuum—once a week or when there are spills is usually enough.

Conclusion

In simple terms, vacuum when your floors are dirty or have lots of dust, sweep for loose stuff like dirt, and mop when you want to make your floors clean and shiny or when there's a spill. 

These chores help keep your floors looking nice and your home clean.
