Sticky Tape Cleans Crumbs

My husband thought of this and I think it is a great idea that anyone can do anytime! Since "Sticky Stuff" is now a Speed Challenge Instructable, I thought I would share since, after all, tape is one of the stickiest things. You could even get the kids to do it! Here is how easily you can use tape to clean up crumbs.

What You Need

All you need is mailing tape and your foot! That's it!!!

Spot Some Crumbs

This is the easiest part. You can see the crumbs on your floor. This is in my kitchen so I always have crumbs (and dog hair too).

Wrap the Tape

Just pull the tape out of the roll. Loosely wrap it around the ball of your foot, sticky side out. Use the attached cutter to cut the tape. Press it to secure the tape roll.

Pick Up the Crumbs

Tap the tape under your foot over the crumbs. As it gets dirty, roll the tape with your foot to a clean side until the tape is completely covered with crumbs.

It's Very Quick

You can pick up the crumbs much quicker than using a broom and dust pan. It's also very easy on your back. When you are finished, throw the tape roll in the trash can.

The Result!
