Sweeping...

Well, there's not too much involved in learning to sweep.  There are quite a few tasks you can end up with, but none of them are too difficult.  They include:

Training with a skilled master
Teaching another member
Learning from another member
Cleaning the windows
Sweeping the floors
Watering the wildflowers
Practicing on critters
Practicing on the dummies

So you probably want to know what all these involve...well read on.

Training with a skilled master

Like with every other skill in the guild, this simply involves visiting one of the Master Footpads and having them instruct you in the art of sweeping.  

Teaching another member

All you need to do here is find someone who is skilled enough and sweep them a few times.  See the section on finding a partner in the FAQ's for the exact numbers.

Learning from another member

Basically the same as teaching another person, however you need them to sweep you instead.

Cleaning the windows

Head to the storage area and get yourself a soft rag.  Find a window and RUB it with your rag.  Windows take about 10 minutes to get dirty, so if you have more repetitions than windows, you'll just have to wait.

Sweeping the floors

First, get yourself a broom and bag from the tool rack. Then find some scattered dirt, and make sure nobody else in the room is sweeping it. Then simply PUSH the broom and it'll make a pile. Once all the scattered dirt is in a pile, simply GET pile. Periodically you should LOOK in your bag to see if it is full.  Once its full, take it back to the rack where you got it from and PUT it in the bin. If you find there is no dirt around, go and PUT the bag in the bin, even if it's not full, it will generate more dirt.

Watering the flowers

Head down to the storage area and get yourself a watering can.  Then find yourself a bunch of wildflowers, kneel down and WATER the wildflowers with your watering can.

Practicing with critters

To practice with a critter, first you need to find one old enough for you.  See the section in the FAQ's on finding a critter to train with, then just go and sweep it a few times. 

Practicing on the dummies

First, GO DUMMY.  Then, make sure the dummy isn't rocking by PULLing or PUSHing it.  Then just SWEEP away at it.
