Cleaning

Cleaning tools in Việt Nam are shaped by surrounding materials—coconut husk, bamboo, rattan, palm fibre, straw—and by the surfaces they clean: courtyards, tiled floors, dusty roads, motorbikes, market stalls, and domestic altars. Alongside plastic brooms and dustpans, they reveal an everyday ecology of coexistence where local materials, industrial goods, gestures, and changing habits meet.
