Product Information

Full details

The ProDec 13 inch Synthetic Fibre Yard Broom Head is designed for contractors, landscapers, and homeowners who need a heavy-duty solution for clearing rough outdoor surfaces. Its primary benefit is its ultra-tough, acid-resistant polypropylene construction, which excels at moving heavy debris in both wet and dry environments, though users should note that the handle is sold separately and requires a 28mm diameter fit.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this broom come with a handle?

No, this is a head-only product. You will need to source a 28mm (1 1/8 inch) handle separately.

Is this suitable for indoor use?

It is primarily intended for rough outdoor surfaces. The stiff polypropylene fibers may scratch delicate indoor flooring.

Can I use this broom on decking?

Yes, it is excellent for decking and helps remove moss and debris that accumulates in the grooves.

What does acid-resistant mean?

It means the bristles are made of a chemical-resistant synthetic material that won't degrade when exposed to mild acids or alkaline substances found on building sites.

How do I ensure a tight fit with the handle?

The broom uses a push-fit socket. Simply align the handle with the opening and apply downward pressure until it is firmly seated.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose during use

Ensure the handle diameter is exactly 28mm. If the fit remains loose, you may need to add a small amount of wood glue or a friction shim to the handle end before inserting it into the socket.

Bristles are bent or misshapen

Dip the bristles in warm (not boiling) water for a few minutes to soften them, then reshape them by hand. Allow them to air dry in the correct position.

Broom is not moving fine dust effectively

This broom is designed for heavy, coarse debris. For very fine dust on smooth surfaces, consider using a softer-bristle broom.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to acid and harsh chemicals
  • High bristle density for efficient cleaning
  • Robust construction for construction-site durability
  • Reliable push-fit connection system
  • Effective on both wet and dry surfaces

Cons

  • Handle is not included
  • Requires a specific 28mm handle diameter
  • Stiff bristles may be too aggressive for delicate finished indoor surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up this broom, insert a standard 28mm (1 1/8 inch) wooden or metal broom handle into the heavy-duty plastic socket. Ensure the handle is pushed firmly into the socket for a secure fit. For optimal care, rinse the broom head with water after use to remove debris or chemical residue, especially after use on construction sites. Allow the broom to dry naturally in an upright position or hung by the handle to keep the bristles straight and effective for future use. Avoid leaving the broom head sitting on its bristles for extended periods, as this can cause them to deform.
