Product Information

Full details

The Faithfull FAIBRBAS18R is designed for homeowners and professional tradespeople needing a wide, reliable tool for clearing large floor areas. Its primary benefit is the 450mm width which allows for high-efficiency sweeping, though users must note that the natural bassine bristles are strictly for dry use only and will degrade if exposed to moisture.

FAQs

Can I use this broom to wash my patio?

No. The bassine bristles are natural palm fibers and will distort or rot if used in wet conditions.

What handle should I use with this head?

This head is specifically designed to work with the Faithfull FAIP48118TH threaded handle.

Is this broom effective for fine dust?

It is better suited for general debris and heavy particles rather than fine dust, which may pass through the coarser natural bristles.

How wide is the broom head?

The broom head is 450mm, which is equivalent to 18 inches.

What happens if the bristles get wet?

Natural bassine bristles absorb moisture, which causes them to soften, warp, and lose their effectiveness. Permanent damage may occur if left to dry while distorted.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose during use

Unscrew the handle and ensure there is no debris in the socket, then re-tighten firmly until the handle locks into place.

Bristles are bent or misshapen

Ensure the broom has not been exposed to moisture. If the bristles are merely bent from storage, try combing them straight and store the broom head-up to let gravity help reshape them.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Wide 450mm head covers large floor areas quickly
  • Natural palm leaf bristles are excellent for dry sweeping
  • Stable connection via the threaded socket system
  • Ideal for workshop and heavy-duty debris
  • Durable construction for long-term use

Cons

  • Not suitable for wet sweeping or damp conditions
  • Natural bristles may distort if left in rain or puddles
  • Requires a separate compatible handle purchase

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To attach the head, simply screw a compatible threaded handle (such as the Faithfull FAIP48118TH) into the threaded socket until it is tight and firm. Ensure the handle is fully seated to prevent it from rotating during use.

Compatibility: This broom head is designed to fit standard threaded broom handles. Always verify the threading matches before attempting to force a handle into the socket.

Care: The most critical maintenance tip for this broom is moisture management. Never use this broom to sweep standing water, wet leaves, or snow, as the natural bassine fibers will absorb water, expand, and lose their shape. After use, store the broom hanging upside down or on its side in a dry, cool place to prevent bristle warping.
