FAQs
What type of surfaces is this broom best suited for?
This broom is best suited for hard, dry surfaces such as concrete, wood, or tile, making it ideal for workshops, garages, patios, and general dry floor cleaning.
Can I use this broom for wet sweeping?
No, this broom is specifically designed for dry use. Using it with water or for wet sweeping can cause the bassine and cane bristles to distort and lose their effectiveness.
What are the dimensions of the broom head and handle?
The broom head width is 325mm (13 inches), and the handle length is 1.37m (54 inches).
How do I maintain the bristles?
To maintain the bristles, avoid using the broom when wet. After sweeping, clear any debris and store the broom bristle-side up or hung to preserve its shape and prevent premature wear.
What is the socket size for the handle?
The broom features a 28mm (1.1/8-inch) socket for the handle.
Where can I find a replacement handle?
A compatible replacement handle can be found using the code FAIRH54118.
What is the advantage of the bassine and cane combination?
The combination provides the excellent dust-collecting properties of bassine, enhanced by the added stiffness and durability of cane, making it effective for tougher dry debris.
Troubleshooting
Broom head feels loose on the handle
Ensure the handle is fully inserted into the socket and tightened. If the socket is damaged, consider replacing the handle using the compatible replacement handle code.
Bristles are not sweeping effectively
Ensure the broom is used only on dry surfaces. Check for any tangled debris caught in the bristles and remove it. For stubborn dry debris, a firmer sweep may be required.
Bristles appear bent or distorted
This is likely due to exposure to moisture. The broom is designed for dry use only. Allow the broom to dry completely in a suitable storage position (bristle-side up or hung) and avoid future wet use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The broom head is supplied complete with a handle. Simply ensure the handle is securely fitted into the socket of the broom head before use.
Compatibility: The broom features a standard 28mm (1.1/8-inch) socket, making it compatible with most standard broom handles should you need to replace it in the future. The specific replacement handle is coded FAIRH54118.
Care: To maintain the broom's performance and longevity, it is crucial to use it only for dry sweeping. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or using it to sweep up wet materials, as this can cause the natural cane and bassine bristles to warp and distort. After use, hang the broom or store it bristle-side up to prevent premature bristle wear and maintain its shape. Brush off any loose debris before storage.
