  However, in the technique of Patent Document 1, in order to use the strip-shaped plate body portion, it is necessary to curve the eyelash bundle portion, and thus the deformation of the eyelash portion is unavoidable, and the eyelash portion is deformed. In this case, since the strip-shaped plate body comes into contact with the floor surface first, there is a risk that it will hinder normal dust sweeping by the eyelash portion.

  Further, in the technique of Patent Document 2, since the eyelashes and the wire are substantially the same length, the wire always comes into contact with the floor surface or the like, so that normal sweeping only by the eyelash portion cannot be performed. Therefore, there is a risk of damaging the floor surface and the like, so that it cannot be used for cleaning indoors and the like, and it is difficult to delicately sweep fine dust only by the eyelashes.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a scissors that can be swept up regardless of the state of dust and a cleaning method using the same.

  The present invention for solving the above problems has the following configuration.

1. A strength-reinforcing ridge in which a plurality of eyelashes are bundled and the eyelash bundle housed in a cylindrical body is attached to the tip of the handle for strength reinforcement, and the cylindrical body is a swingable coil spring Strength reinforcement kite characterized by

2. 2. The strength reinforcing ridge according to claim 1, wherein at least a part of the coil spring is in close contact with the eyelash bundle.

3. 3. The strength reinforcing rod according to 1 or 2 above, wherein the coil spring is gradually expanded from the root portion toward the tip portion.

4). 4. The strength reinforcing rod according to any one of the above items 1 to 3, wherein at least a head portion of the coil spring has a configuration in which adjacent coil portions are in close contact with each other.

5). A cleaning method, wherein a bundle of a plurality of eyelashes sweeps dust while swinging by a coil spring surrounding the eyelash bundle.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a soot that can be swept up regardless of the state of dust that is difficult to sweep up, and a cleaning method using the same.

  In the present invention, the eyelash bundle in which a plurality of eyelashes are bundled is housed in a swingable coil spring, so that the hardness and rigidity of the eyelashes are not increased while maintaining the flexibility and flexibility of the eyelashes. Since the strength of the eyelash part can be increased, it is possible to delicately sweep ordinary dust by the eyelash part, and it is difficult to sweep dust that is difficult to be swept away by normal soot such as oil impregnation using the coil spring part. Is also possible.
