Product Information
Full details
The Spear and Jackson Garden Broom is an essential tool for homeowners and gardening enthusiasts seeking a heavy-duty solution for seasonal debris cleanup. It excels at shifting tough, stubborn garden waste thanks to its hybrid bristle design and reinforced construction; however, users should note that the stiff wire bristles may be too abrasive for use on delicate surfaces like polished decking or painted patio tiles.

FAQs
Can I use this broom on my indoor wooden floors?
No, it is not recommended. The stiff metal wire bristles will likely scratch and damage indoor flooring surfaces.
What is the total length of the broom?
The broom features a 1445mm long handle, making it suitable for users who prefer a long reach to minimize bending.
Is the head replaceable?
The head is fixed to the handle via a metal bracket, but standard maintenance involves keeping the existing head clean and well-maintained.
Does the broom work well on wet leaves?
Yes, the combination of polypropylene and wire bristles is very effective at shifting heavy, wet leaves from rough outdoor surfaces.
Are the wire bristles dangerous?
They are stiff and designed for heavy cleaning, so it is advised to wear gloves when handling the broom and store it safely out of reach of children.
Troubleshooting
Head feels loose or wobbly
Check the connection point at the metal bracket and tighten the securing screws or bolts with a screwdriver.
Bristles are bent or matted
Use a gloved hand or a coarse metal rake to comb through the bristles and realign the wire and polypropylene strands.
Handle surface feels rough
Lightly sand the handle with fine-grain sandpaper and apply a thin coat of wood oil to restore the finish and prevent splinters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your broom remains in good condition, always store it in a dry, covered area like a garden shed or garage. While the beech head is durable, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause the wood to rot or the handle to swell. After using it for particularly wet or muddy jobs, hose off the bristles to remove acidic soil or organic matter that might corrode the metal wires over time. Inspect the metal bracket periodically to ensure the screws remain tight; if you notice any wobbling at the handle connection, tighten the screws immediately to maintain stability during heavy-duty sweeping.
