In all our own experiments we have
found nothing SO safe and serviceable
as bran slightly moistened- very
slightly-just sufficient to hold the par
ticles together. In this case it is not
necessary to stop and clean the broom
every few minutes. Sweeping the car
pet after the bran has been sprinkled
over it not only cleans the carpet and
gathers all the dirt into the bran, but
keeps the broom clean at the same time.
II too much dampened, aside from in
juring the carpet. it makes the work
harder, because the bran becomes very
heavy if very damp. The bran should
be sifted evenly over the floor and then
the room swept as usual. The bran
scours and cleanses the whole fabric,
very little dust is made while sweeping
with it, and scarcely any settles on fur
niture, pictures, etc, after the work is
accomplished, because every particle of
dirt, thread, bits of paper or lint is
gathered up into the mass of bran that
is being moved over the floor, and so
thoroughly Incorporated with it that it
will not be easily separated. Carpets
swept in this way retain very little dust,
as will be plainly demonstrated when
ever they are taken up to be shaken
