The Faithfull Stiff Bassine Broom is an essential tool for janitors, workshop owners, and homeowners requiring a heavy-duty solution for demanding sweeping tasks. Its primary benefit is the combination of stiff, natural bristles and a reinforced wooden stock that excels at moving heavy debris, though users should note that the natural fibers are best suited for dry conditions to prevent long-term bristle degradation.

No. The stiff bassine bristles are too abrasive and may scratch or damage polished hardwood floors.
While it can move light slush, the bassine material is not designed for snow. Constant exposure to wet, freezing conditions will cause the natural fibers to rot.
Bassine is a coarse, natural fiber derived from the leaves of the Palmyra palm tree, known for its stiffness and durability.
The broom is designed as a complete unit. While the stock and handle are robust, they are not intended for modular replacement.
No, the head width is fixed at 450mm.
Comb the bristles with a wide-toothed rake or stiff-bristled brush to remove trapped debris and realign the fibers.
Inspect the stay and the connection point at the stock to ensure the securing hardware is tightened and free of obstructions.
This broom arrives fully assembled, requiring no initial setup. To maximize the life of the tool, store the broom in a dry environment with the bristles facing upward or hanging by the handle to prevent the bassine fibers from bending or holding moisture. Avoid using this broom on wet concrete or in standing water for extended periods, as natural fibers absorb moisture and can weaken over time. Regularly check the metal stay attachment to ensure it remains tight against the wooden stock.
