dustpan and brush
Floor debris collectors
A dustpan and brush is a pair of small cleaning tools used together—a short-handled brush for sweeping debris and a shallow pan with a handle for collecting it.
The brush sweeps crumbs, dust, or broken glass into the dustpan, which is then emptied into a bin.
Grab the dustpan and brush—someone knocked over the plant.
