【Manga】Showa Cleaning

When it came to room cleaning sets, they used to be "broom, dustpan, duster, and rag."
First, use the duster to knock dust off shoji screens and shelves onto the floor. Then, scatter either tea leaves (squeezed tea leaves after drinking Japanese tea) or torn wet newspaper to trap the dust and debris before sweeping it up with the broom.
Then wipe down the floor and shelves with a rag.
Just like cooking, there were skilled and unskilled ways to clean.
Now we live in an era where robots do the cleaning. Is being good or bad at it the robot's fault?! (laugh)
