Broom Bristle Types 

Broom bristles are rated both by material and by stiffness, with certain types suitable for different jobs. 

• Stiff bristles: Stiff bristled brooms have short, thick bristles that are useful for heavy scrubbing duties and can even be used wet to clear particularly stubborn dirt. However, stiff bristles can easily damage delicate surfaces, so they should be used with care.
• Medium bristles: Medium bristles are good for sweeping up larger items such as food scraps or leaf debris, and can also be used wet or dry depending on the task required. Medium bristle brooms are gentler and can be used on a wider range of surfaces than stiff ones. 
• Soft bristles: Soft bristle broom designs have longer and thinner bristles than other types, and they're more closely packed together, making them a great option for sweeping up fine particles, from household dust to spilled flour.

What is the Best Broom for Pet Hair? 

If you’re looking for a designated broom for pet hair, bristles are the major consideration. Look for a pet broom with rubber bristles as they do a fine job of picking up hair your furry little friends leave behind. What’s more, rubber bristle pet brooms can be used on both hard surfaces like wood and tile as well as soft surfaces like carpet.  

The Main Broom Types 

The most common type of broom is a push broom that has a large head and a thick bristle pattern, making push brooms a good choice for cleaning larger areas. Some push broom designs also sport a mix of different bristle types, making them a versatile choice for cleaning mixed kinds of dirt and particles.

Other popular designs include angled brooms that are used for cleaning narrow spaces, lobby brooms with wider heads for large floor areas, and whisk brooms that are small, handleless and generally used for hand-brushing small areas.

Broom Handle Lengths 

The length of a broom handle has a major effect on how easy and comfortable it is to use. Our range includes lightweight plastic broom handles measuring from one inch up to a few feet, providing an option to suit most cleaning situations.

Faster Cleanups Using a Broom with Dustpan

Sweeping debris into a pile is only half of the cleaning story—the dirt also needs to be collected together for disposal. An all-in-one broom with a dustpan combines sweeping and collecting duties in one tool. This should speed up cleaning times and reduce the effort involved.
