A dustpan! A dustpan! My sanity needs a good dustpan!

[LemonDrizzleCake11]

The subject pretty much covers it... I am desperately seeking a dustpan that when you sweep the dust into it it actually goes in, rather than forming a line between the dustpan and floor.

Does anyone please have a recommendation?

It simply doesn't exist. There will always be a line. Which you then vacuum up with a tiny vacuum cleaner.

I find tilting the dustpan slightly does the job

I appreciate there will always be a line but I'm look for more of a thin line rather than the majority of the stuff.... am sure I've had better ones in the past...

Following!

Following.

And you then tip the contents of the tiny vacuum cleaner into the bin, only they have got stuck so you tap it and it all comes flying out and misses the bin, completely, so you fish out the dustpan and brush again...

The best one I ever had was a really cheap one from Asda. Unfortunately it was years ago and they've probably changed the design now.

We have a Vileda one now which is quite good.

Of no use to you but the best insult I ever saw on the internet was someone calling someone ‘the last line of dust that never goes on the dustpan’

I have an oxo good grips one and it’s pretty good. It’s one of those long-handled ones.

I have this one which is great:

My guinea pigs love to eat that little rubber end of the dustpan so I am looking for a completely metal one. Anyone?

Another vote for the OXO good grips. I used a cheapo dustpan and brush at my mums the other day and the difference was really noticeable.

I'm still looking for a long handled version. My recent purchase was far too flimsy.

My old long handled one was great, but I've not found one since. Sad.

Another vote for Oxo.
Not mad about the hand broom but have had many and this is the best.

I don't wear my glasses when I'm using the dustpan and brush, so I just don't see that line then.

come to that I do the same when dusting the house.

I gave up looking for one and use a laminated crochet pattern instead, the pattern is, of course irrelevant but there's always one lying around, I laminate the use I use constantly and can recommend for picking up dust.

No idea if it's any good, but Matalan have a metal one:

Full marks for thinking outside the box

Oxo good grips. X

I have the oxo one and also a good boxy metal one from Amazon. Both handy in different ways.

vileda is alright

I’ve recently bought one from b and m. It both long and short handled and has a rubber, very thin, edge strip. It doesn’t leave a crumb behind. Think it was around £10.

Get a desktop vacuum instead and just suck up the mess. They are brilliant for whizzing round skirtings and floors before you do the mop. Then I go over with the hoover on the laminate setting.

Side spills, vacuum.
Ashtray spill, vacuum.
etc.

I've got one of these ........ but I think you'd have to go to the States to get it.
