FAQs

What type of surfaces can I use this broom on?

This broom is ideal for hard outdoor surfaces such as concrete patios, driveways, tarmac, paving stones, and wooden decking. It is not recommended for delicate indoor floors or polished surfaces.

Are the bristles very stiff?

Yes, the broom features stiff natural bassine bristles, which are designed to effectively sweep away tough outdoor debris, leaves, mud, and water. They may be too firm for very delicate surfaces.

How do I store the broom?

The broom has an integrated hanging hook on the handle, allowing you to hang it for convenient storage. Storing it upright or hanging helps maintain the bristles' shape.

Can this broom be used for wet cleaning?

Yes, the broom is suitable for both wet and dry surfaces. Its stiff bristles are effective at clearing away water, damp leaves, and mud.

What is the length of the handle?

The metal handle is 120cm (approximately 47 inches) long, providing a good reach for most users.

How do I clean the broom?

After use, bang the broom head to remove debris. For a deeper clean, rinse the bristles with water and allow the broom to air dry completely. The wooden head can be wiped with a damp cloth if needed.

Will the wooden head get mouldy?

The wooden head is designed to resist mould build-up. However, ensuring the broom dries thoroughly after use and is not left constantly damp will maximize its lifespan and prevent mould.

Troubleshooting

Bristles are splayed or misshapen

Hang the broom by its hook or stand it upright to allow bristles to regain their shape. If stubborn, soak the bristles in warm water for a few minutes and then allow to dry fully while hanging.

Broom is not sweeping effectively

Ensure all loose debris is removed from the bristles. Check for any obstructions or matting of the bristles, and clean if necessary. For very stubborn dirt, a firmer pressure may be required.

Wooden head shows signs of mould

Wipe the head with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the broom is thoroughly dried in a well-ventilated area. The wood is treated to resist mould, but proper drying is crucial.
