Brooms
How to choose brooms
Sub-type sets the scene: Home & Garden brooms suit outside, Household Cleaning Supplies fit indoor tidying, Household Supplies cover general rooms.
Material trades off care for durability: broom/wood feels solid but needs shelter, broom/stainless steel survives weather yet weighs more.
Bristle mix decides the job: rubber/broom/fur lifts pet hair, broom/metal scrapes weeds, plain broom handles daily dust.
Colour has a function: grey or white blend into interiors, yellow or orange stand out in a green garden.
Size tier matters: wide platform brushes clear drives fast but store bulky, mini wooden besom types suit detail or display only.
What's good
- Wooden brooms (broom/wood) use stiff natural bristles that push heavy leaves on patios and decks.
- Rubber broom types (rubber/broom) catch fine dust and pet hair on flat indoor floors.
- Plastic and poly yard brooms appear in yellow, orange or red, so they stay visible in grass and gravel.
- Metal and stainless steel brooms (broom/metal) keep their shape through repeated outdoor scrubbing.
Things to watch
- Wooden handled brooms absorb water and may crack if left in damp weather.
- Rubber bristles wear on rough concrete and fail with wet garden leaves.
- Soft household brooms (plain broom) lack stiffness for outdoor debris, wrong for yard tasks.
- Metal wire brushes (metal/broom) scratch sealed indoor floors, so restrict them to outside.
Care & maintenance
Shake wooden brooms after use, then store them upright in a dry place.
Rinse rubber broom heads under cold water and air dry before storing.
Wipe metal or stainless steel handles with a dry cloth to prevent rust.
Wash plastic broom heads with mild soap if they clog with dirt or resin.
