A carpet sweeper is a mechanical cleaning device made up of a handle and a small box with rollers and brushes inside. It is also made with belts or gears connecting the brushes and rollers, and a container for the collected dirt. It is pushed along the carpet using the handle, forcing the rollers and brushes to rotate. The brushes sweep the dirt and dust from the carpet and transfer them to the container.
The carpet sweeper is an old-fashioned tool superseded by the vacuum cleaner in popularity and usage. However, it is still used today for lightweight, portable, and quiet carpet cleaning. It is also economical to use because it does not run on electricity.
