Product Information
Full details
The B&Q 12-inch heavy-duty garden broom (GT-SB123) is an ideal tool for homeowners and groundskeepers who need a reliable, stiff-bristled solution for cleaning garages, driveways, and outdoor courtyards. It provides the key benefit of an upright design to reduce back strain during extended cleaning sessions, though its stiff bristles may be too abrasive for delicate indoor hardwood surfaces.

FAQs
Can I use this broom on indoor hardwood floors?
It is not recommended. The PVC bristles are stiff and intended for heavy-duty outdoor use; they may scratch or damage delicate indoor finishes.
How long is the handle?
The handle is 1.2 meters long, designed to keep you standing upright while sweeping.
Is this broom effective for wet leaves?
Yes, the stiff PVC bristles are excellent at gripping and moving wet debris that would typically clog a softer broom.
Does the broom head come off?
The head is designed to be sturdy, but it can be removed if necessary for transport or storage by unscrewing it from the handle.
Can I leave this broom outside?
While the materials are durable, it is best practice to hang the broom in a shed or garage to protect it from extreme UV exposure and constant moisture.
Troubleshooting
Broom head feels loose during use
Check the connection point where the handle meets the head and tighten the threading clockwise.
Bristles have become bent or flattened
Soak the bristles in warm (not boiling) water for 10 minutes to help them regain their shape, then hang to dry.
Debris is stuck deep in the bristles
Use a secondary small hand brush or a garden hose to dislodge trapped dirt from the base of the PVC bristles.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reduces physical fatigue with its upright, ergonomic handle length
- Efficient 30.5cm head cleans large areas in minimal time
- Durable PVC bristles handle wet and heavy debris effectively
- Integrated hook makes storage simple and keeps floors clear
Cons
- Stiff bristles can scratch sensitive indoor flooring
- Large head size may be difficult to maneuver in tight, cluttered corners
- PVC bristles may deform if stored while compressed under heavy weight
Setup, Compatibility & Care
The garden broom arrives ready for use, though you should ensure the head is securely tightened onto the handle before the first use. To maintain the broom’s performance, rinse the PVC bristles with water after cleaning particularly muddy or sticky surfaces to prevent buildup. Store the broom hanging from its storage hook; keeping the bristles off the ground prevents them from bending or flattening over time, which ensures the broom retains its sweeping effectiveness for years to come.
