Broom = Walis



I drew the two kinds of "walis" found in my house. The bigger of the two is the walis tambo, which is softer and made from some kind of grass. The other one that I've sketched beside it is the walis ting-ting which is made of coconut leaf rib. Walis ting-ting makes a scratchy sound as you "dust" because it's rough and not very malleable and can get at the more stubborn spots (and children, as evident from the thwacks I've gotten). My parents own a vacuum but prefer to use the walis instead...

I use the walis most times to make a quick sweep in my kitchen and den. I prefer it because it's quiet, and also I can see how much dirt I have collected. LOL
