"As good as a Dyson”: $8 Kmart find sends fans into a spin
<p>A NSW mum has immediately shared her new find at Kmart – and it’s not going to break the bank and does a fantastic job at cleaning the floors.</p>
<p>Shirley Towan, from Bombala in regional NSW, spoke to <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/home/interiors/the-8-kmart-find-mum-thinks-is-as-good-as-a-dyson/news-story/aea84ee4816575a19be564f68724efe6" target="_blank">news.com.au</a> about her latest Kmart find, which is an $8 broom from Kmart that cleans carpets. It can be found in the cleaning section of the discount department store.</p>
<p>“I instantly knew I had to have one so I asked my friend to pick one up for me on Sunday,” Shirley said.</p>
<p>She was looking for a fix to clean a hallway through her home that “no amount of vacuuming has ever cleaned properly,” when she found the broom at Kmart.</p>
<p>However, Shirley had already invested more than $700 in a Dyson vacuum, but was unhappy with the results as it didn’t clean her carpet the way she wanted it to.</p>
<p>Putting the broom to the test on Monday, Shirley was shocked with the results.</p>
<p>“When I first used the broom I was in absolute disbelief that there was so much debris left behind after constant vacuuming,” she said.</p>
<p>“I was actually slightly embarrassed that all that stuff came out of my carpet!”</p>

<p>Shirley has also made a bold claim, saying that her new purchase is “just as good as a Dyson”.</p>
<p>She shared her success with a popular Kmart Facebook group, saying she’s been in “total shock”.</p>
<p>“I wanted to share it with other mums to let them know that an $8 broom can be amazing for carpet,” she said.</p>
<p>With 2.2K people liking her tip and almost 500 comments, Shirley has been “gobsmacked” by the reaction to her post.</p>
<p>“I just wanted to show a few mums how good it was and now the whole country has got on board,” she said.</p>
<p>“Now I’m famous for sharing a pile of fluff!”</p>
