Miss H C Potter of the University of California reports in a Davis survey that 2,069 of 2,639 homemakers use the broom daily, while only 382 use a vacuum cleaner. Dust pans rank second, and most rural housewives favor carpet sweepers over vacuums when both are owned. The study aims to guide closet design for cleaning equipment storage.
