| Dust Pan / Packer |
Dust pan or packer as it is most often called in Nigeria is a flat scoop, designed with a handle, which is used for collecting and disposing of dirt.
It is one of the early instruments people buy when moving into apartments, or when they relocate to different locations with little baggage. This trend is attributable to the fact that just as sanitation is important to the presentability of a place, including our health, so also are dust pans used in doing sanitation exercises such as; cleaning of homes, surroundings, outdoor places e.t.c.
A dust pan is also called a packer. It is made of plastic or in some instances, aluminium metal. Packers come in different colours such as blue, red, pink, grey, gradient-filled, poka dots among many others.
How to use a dustpan?
A dustpan is held flat on the floor while holding the handle by hand. A brush or hard broom is then used to sweep dirt into the dustpan. The dustpan is further taken for final disposal of the dirt.
