Sort of a weird thing from me today, not organization so much but it was for sewing room purchase purposes! I have dust and other allergies and live in a "hard surface" house, ie, no carpeting.
When I moved and replaced a lot of stuff, I found (new technology!) dustpans with fingers in them, so you can scrape the broom off with the pan and not your hands. I also like the dustpans that stick to the broom handle. Got a large dustpan plus a broom with nylon bristles or something like that for the upstairs, and a standard straw broom for downstairs/outside/garage. That straw broom wasn't working so good for my sewing stuff, and was always getting quite a ways away from the dustpan.
I've been doing some fabric project research this past week and decided to check in on pricing at Menards (a big box lumber/appliance store) for color catchers, and as I was there I went past this display, and there were brooms and dustpans on a sale, and I figured I'd pick one up for the Sewing Room. After I got home, I thought the handle was sort of weird for the dustpan, yes it stuck on the broom, but was awkward to use. THEN I read the label -- designed so you step on the dustpan handle to hold it down.

Yes, you have to stoop over to put it down and pick it up, but it was much less awkward than trying to hold the pan with one hand, lean over and sweep the stuff into the pan. As a drawback, this dustpan is really too small to fit the broom and it is awkward to get the bristles into the fingers, but I will try mixing and matching my two broom/dustpan sets.
My normal sweepings are dog hair and fabric trim -- and pins. Stepping on the top was important, I was trying to tap on the pointy bit at the end and not just stomping down. Once I stomped on it, even pins went in nice and easy.
