pölykori

Pölykori is a Finnish term that translates to "dustpan" in English. It refers to a common household tool used for collecting dust and debris after sweeping. Typically, a pölykori is designed to be used in conjunction with a broom. The sweeping action gathers dirt onto the floor, and the pölykori is then placed on the floor to scoop up the collected material.

Modern pölykorit are often made of plastic and come in various shapes and sizes. Some have a long handle, while others are smaller and designed for quick cleanups. Older or more traditional designs might be made of metal or wood. The shape of the pölykori usually features a flat edge that sits flush against the floor, allowing for efficient collection of fine dust and larger particles alike. After use, the contents of the pölykori are typically emptied into a trash bin. It is an essential item in most households for maintaining cleanliness.
