You also get a cleverly designed dustpan that acts as a cover for the broom when it is in storage.Plus, the pan actually tilts upwards when it’s not being used, so it makes itself even smaller and easier to pop in the cupboard. That being said, the brush comes with a wide head, so you can clean a bigger area at once. However, the large head may be a bit of a problem when it comes to cleaning dirt out of narrow gaps.

Conclusion

But the squeegee tool isn’t there just to clean windows, it serves a bigger purpose. Its main purpose is to gather up liquid spills, like squash, on floors and to keep dirt and dust under control as the brush moves around gathering dirt. You get a great sweeping motion with this broom and it works exceptionally well on hard flooring, like tiles and laminate. The bristles on the head are usually significantly slimmer because they’re not being used in a ‘heavy duty’ sort of manner. In the house you’ll typically be sweeping up bits of food, dust and hair. However, the fact that the Basic Broom’s bristles are so tough, makes it particularly unsuitable for hardwood flooring in a home. If you were to use such a brush to sweep the floors, you’d run the risk of scratching the surface.
