Product Information

Full details

The Newman & Cole 24-inch Soft Coco Platform Broom is designed for facility managers, warehouse operators, and homeowners who need to maintain large smooth surfaces efficiently. Its key benefit is the massive 61cm wide brush head, which allows for high-volume debris collection in fewer passes, though users should note that the natural coco bristles are intended for fine dust and light debris rather than heavy-duty outdoor gravel or wet sludge.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this broom suitable for wet concrete?

It is not recommended. Coco bristles are designed for dry fine dust; moisture can damage natural fibers over time and make them less effective.

Can I replace the handle if it breaks?

Yes, the broom features a standard wooden handle connection that is designed for professional replacement if necessary.

How wide is the broom head exactly?

The broom head is 24 inches wide, which measures approximately 61cm.

Does this work on carpets?

No, this is a platform broom specifically designed for smooth hard surfaces like wood, concrete, or vinyl.

What is the benefit of the metal stay?

The metal stay provides structural support, preventing the handle from snapping at the point of connection to the head when pushing large volumes of dust.

Troubleshooting

Head feels loose or wobbly

Check the fasteners connecting the metal stay to the broom stock and handle; tighten with a screwdriver or wrench as necessary.

Bristles are becoming splayed

Ensure the broom is not being stored with weight resting on the bristles and avoid applying excessive downward pressure during the sweeping stroke.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Covers large surface areas quickly due to the 24-inch width
  • Soft bristles are excellent for fine dust and non-abrasive cleaning
  • Robust metal bracket prevents handle breakage under pressure
  • Professional-grade construction suitable for daily trade use

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy wet debris or coarse gravel
  • Natural fibers may degrade if left standing in water for extended periods
  • Size can be cumbersome in very tight or cramped storage spaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The broom typically ships in a standard configuration involving the head, the 120cm wooden handle, and the metal strengthening stay. To assemble, attach the metal stay to the top of the wooden stock and secure it to the handle, ensuring all fasteners are tight before the first use. To ensure the longevity of your investment:

  1. Do not leave the broom standing on its bristles, as this will cause them to splay and lose their efficiency.
  2. Store the broom hanging vertically by the handle or lying flat on its side.
  3. Keep the bristles dry. If they become damp after cleaning, let the broom air-dry in a ventilated space away from direct, harsh heat sources to prevent the wood from cracking or the bristles from rotting.
