carpet sweeper

Manual rug device

A carpet sweeper is a lightweight manual cleaning device with a long handle and rotating brushes that pick up debris as you push it across carpet or rugs.

Before electric vacuum cleaners became common, carpet sweepers were the standard tool for quick floor cleaning.

They remain useful for small jobs or where quiet operation matters: She ran the carpet sweeper over the dining room after dinner.
