Product Information

Full details

The ProDec Scavenger Broom Head is designed for professional contractors, landscapers, and homeowners who need to clear heavy debris from challenging, rough outdoor surfaces. Its primary advantage is the use of natural palmyra fibre, which offers superior stiffness for moving grit, gravel, and wet leaves; however, potential users should note that natural fibres may eventually degrade or shed when exposed to constant damp conditions over extended periods.

FAQs

Can I use this broom on indoor tiles?

It is not recommended. The Palmyra fibres are very stiff and could scratch polished or delicate indoor surfaces.

What diameter handle do I need?

This broom head fits a standard 28mm (1 1/8 inch) diameter handle.

Does this product come with a handle?

No, this is the broom head only.

Will the natural fibres rot if left in the rain?

While the broom is designed for outdoor use, natural fibres will last significantly longer if stored in a dry area when not in use.

Can I attach a metal bracket to this broom?

Yes, it is compatible with standard metal handle brackets for additional support.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly during use

Ensure the handle is fully seated in the hole. If it continues to wobble, use a small wood screw to secure the handle to the wooden stock or consider adding a metal handle bracket.

Fibres are becoming bent or misshapen

Store the broom head hanging up rather than leaning it against a wall, and periodically rotate the broom head 180 degrees on the handle to ensure even wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent stiffness for clearing heavy debris
  • Natural fibres work well in both wet and dry conditions
  • Sturdy wooden stock ensures long-term durability
  • Easy to attach to standard industry handles

Cons

  • Natural palmyra fibre may shed over time
  • Not suitable for fine indoor dust or smooth polished floors
  • Handle is not included in the purchase

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the broom, insert a standard 28mm diameter wooden or metal handle into one of the two pre-drilled holes in the saddleback stock. If extra stability is required, an optional metal handle bracket can be used for reinforcement. To maintain the life of your broom, always clear off heavy clods of mud or debris after each use. Store the broom in a hanging position or with the bristles facing upward; leaving the bristles resting on the ground for extended periods will cause them to bend and deform permanently. If the fibres become saturated, allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area to prevent organic decay of the natural materials.
