Dust-pans

A dustpan is a household cleaning tool used to sweep and collect dust, dirt, and other debris from floors and surfaces. It typically consists of a flat, shallow pan with a handle attached to one side. The pan is designed to be placed on the floor, and the handle is used to hold the pan steady while sweeping debris into it with a broom or brush. Once the debris is collected, the dustpan can be lifted and emptied into a garbage can or other waste receptacle. Dustpans are available in a variety of materials, including plastic, metal, and wood, and are often designed to be lightweight and easy to use. Some dustpans feature a rubber lip or edge that helps to trap debris and prevent it from spilling out of the pan during use. Others may have a built-in comb or brush that can be used to clean the bristles of a broom or brush after use. While dustpans are a common household cleaning tool, they are also used in a variety of other settings, including commercial cleaning, construction, and manufacturing. In these settings, dustpans may be larger and more durable than those used in homes, and may be designed to collect larger or heavier debris. Overall, the dustpan is a simple but essential tool for keeping floors and surfaces clean and free of debris. Its design has remained largely unchanged for decades, and it continues to be a staple in households and businesses around the world.
