Carpet Sweepers

When was the last time you saw a carpet sweeper like this? Once a staple in American homes—especially in the 1950s and 60s—these quiet, no-electricity sweepers were a go-to for quick cleanups. Long before cordless vacuums became a thing, families relied on these to whisk away crumbs and dust without the noise or hassle. They were lightweight, easy to use, and often handed to kids as their first "big kid chore." Have you ever used one? Share your stories in the comments below!
