Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your broom:
- Bristle Cleaning: After each use, remove any hair, lint, or large debris caught in the bristles. You can use your hands or a comb for this purpose.
- Washing Bristles: For deeper cleaning, the polypropylene bristles can be washed with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storing. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the bristles.
- Storage: Store the broom by hanging it up or standing it upright with the bristles off the floor to prevent them from bending or becoming misshapen. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Durability: The broom features fuse-set construction and stain- and moisture-resistant bristles, designed for long-lasting performance.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your broom, consider the following:
- Ineffective Sweeping: If the broom is not picking up debris efficiently, check if the bristles are clogged with hair or dirt. Clean the bristles as described in the Maintenance section.
- Bent Bristles: Bristles can bend if stored improperly. Ensure the broom is hung or stood upright to maintain bristle shape. Minor bends may correct over time with proper storage.
- Loose Handle: While uncommon due to fuse-set construction, if the handle feels loose, ensure it is securely attached to the broom head.
