My easy ‘cardboard hack’ makes leaf cleanup easy – and it uses an item everyone has at home

LEAF-LADEN yards are the bane of home owners during the fall season.

Gadgets galore have been designed to cope with the problem.

But one mom has come up with her easy “cardboard hack.”

Her tip made this endless cleanup chore easy.

There were no fancy tools employed for this task either.

Instead, it used an item that everyone has at home.

This method also promised to keep kids busy, helping out mom and dad.

The idea came from busy mom Katie Garcia (@tomboyllc).

On her TikTok she shares her: “Casual designs for the low maintenance kind.”

She lived up to that in this post: “Leaf cleanup hack must try.”

Her super-easy, low-tech method was explained as she looked on.

“Looking for a way to make it super easy for your kids to help with leaf clean up this year?

“Check this out. It’s just a simple cardboard box.

“Put it directly into the bag makes it super easy for the bag to stay open while your kid scoops it right in.

She figured once you tried it you would “love it.”

Commenters were impressed, with one saying: “This is genius.”

“Another described it as: “Awesome.”
