FAQs

What is the broom made of?

The broom is made from natural sorghum grass for the bristles and a wooden handle. It is a traditional, handmade tool.

How long is the broom?

The total length of the broom is approximately 125 cm, with an 88 cm wooden handle and a bristle head measuring approximately 37 cm wide by 33 cm long.

Can this broom be used indoors?

While it can be used for basic indoor sweeping of rougher debris, it is primarily designed and recommended for outdoor use on patios, gardens, yards, and stables due to the stiffness of its bristles.

How durable is the bristle attachment?

The broom features a '5 times sewn' construction, which significantly enhances the durability and ensures the bristles remain securely attached during use.

How should I store the broom?

It is best to store the broom by hanging it from its handle in a dry, sheltered location. This helps maintain the shape of the bristles and prevents moisture damage.

Is this broom suitable for wet conditions?

The broom is best used in dry or damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to excessive moisture can degrade the natural bristle material over time.

Troubleshooting

Bristles are splayed or losing shape.

Ensure the broom is stored by hanging it upright. Avoid leaning it on the bristles. If slightly splayed, try hanging it in a dry, warm place for a few days.

Debris is not being swept effectively.

Check for any obstructions within the bristles. Ensure you are using an appropriate sweeping motion for the type of debris. The broom is designed for coarser debris; fine dust may require a different tool.

Handle feels loose.

This is uncommon with handmade items. If the handle becomes loose, attempt to secure it by gently tapping the end of the handle on a solid surface to resettle the bristles around it, or consult with the retailer for further advice.

Cons

  • Requires manual effort, unlike powered sweepers.
  • May not be suitable for very fine dust or indoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This broom requires no assembly. It is ready for use upon arrival.

Compatibility: Ideal for outdoor hard surfaces like concrete, asphalt, wooden decks, and stable floors. It is not recommended for delicate indoor flooring or fine carpets.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  1. Storage: Store the broom indoors or in a dry, sheltered area to protect the bristles from moisture and sun.
  2. Hanging: Hang the broom by its handle to prevent the bristles from flattening.
  3. Cleaning: If necessary, gently shake off debris. For deeper cleaning, rinse with water and allow to air dry completely before storing. Avoid prolonged exposure to water.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically check the bristle integrity and ensure the handle is secure.
