FAQs
What are the two types of bristles for?
The tough bristles are designed to loosen stubborn dirt and debris, while the softer bristles are ideal for sweeping up fine dust and particles, ensuring a comprehensive clean.
Can the rubber tip scratch my furniture?
No, the rubberised tip is specifically designed to be soft and prevent any damage or scratching to furniture surfaces.
How do I store the dustpan and brush?
They are designed to clip together for easy and compact storage. There is also a hanging hole on the handle for vertical storage.
Is this suitable for outdoor use?
While it can be used outdoors on smooth surfaces, it is primarily designed for indoor household cleaning tasks. For rough outdoor terrain, a heavier-duty broom and dustpan might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the brush?
You can manually remove tangled debris from the bristles. For a thorough clean, rinse the bristles under running water and allow them to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the benefit of the rubberised lip on the dustpan?
The deep rubberised lip ensures optimal contact with the floor surface, creating a seal that prevents fine dust and dirt from escaping underneath and scattering.
Troubleshooting
Brush not picking up fine dust effectively
Ensure the bristles are clean and free from debris. Check that the soft bristles are not bent or damaged.
Dust escaping from the dustpan
Ensure the rubber lip of the dustpan is making full contact with the floor surface. Press down slightly to ensure a seal.
Dustpan and brush do not clip together securely
Check the clipping mechanisms on both the dustpan and brush for any dirt or obstructions. Clean both parts if necessary.
Handle feels uncomfortable during use
Ensure you are holding the brush within the soft grip area for maximum comfort. The ergonomic design is intended for use in this section.
