Broom type

Currently the main and most common types of brooms on the market are piassava broom, with foam, synthetic, electric hair, vacuum cleaner and mop. Let’s check out its features below:

Piassava broom

Synthetic fur broom

Its short, soft bristles work very well on wood, porcelain and laminate flooring. The inclined brush of some models is very good to guarantee the cleaning of those corners that are more difficult to clean.

Electric broom

The electric broom brings more practicality to our life and optimizes the cleaning of the house. It is ideal for all floors in the internal area of ​​the residence.

From wood to porcelain, including carpets and rugs. The electric broom works with a rechargeable battery. There is no need to stay plugged in.

In addition to gaining practicality, the model is also great for those who feel those uncomfortable pains in the spine and have movement restrictions. There is no need for much effort. The broom is the same height as a common broom, facilitating a straighter posture.

Vacuum cleaner

Ideal for wooden, ceramic and carpet floors. Its light suction system, which is attached to the broom, sucks up all the dirt from the floor. Your reservoir should always be emptied after cleaning. It is very practical. Works wirelessly and is rechargeable.

Mop broom

It is very effective and very practical for everyday life. She combines the broom with the squeegee. You can degrease the floor and remove dirt marks. It is also great for absorbing liquids and cleaning food and hair residue.

On a daily basis, the broom replaces the vacuum cleaner very well and it is great for those with allergies, since it does not raise dust when cleaning. The great advantage of this system is that there is no need to be wiping and wringing it.

Area of ​​use

Some models of brooms are indicated for both indoor and outdoor areas. Others, clean better if used in one or the other. The ideal is to purchase a different model for each area of ​​use, thus ensuring the best possible cleaning.

For the external area it is common to use the piassava broom, which removes coarse dirt more easily. The electric broom, which can be used on different types of floors, is also used outdoors.

The internal areas need a little more care and softness, especially wooden floors, which easily scratch.

Each type of floor can be cleaned with a different type of broom. The most used for indoor areas are synthetic hair brooms and the vacuum broom (especially useful in carpets).

Before purchasing your broom, always consider whether it will be used indoors or outdoors and also the type of floor, as there are broom models ideal for different floors.

rgonomics

Many people complain of back and other joint pain after sweeping the house. The type of broom you purchase will directly influence your pain during cleaning.

Avoid simpler broom models that have short handles. To use them, you will need to bend over, which can cause pain when cleaning your home.

If you have orthopedic problems, you can minimize them with the right type of broom. Some models are more suitable for those with pain. Always choose models that have adjustable cables and reach difficult places more easily.

Durability

You saw above that the price of the broom can vary from R $ 8 to R $ 200, it depends on the type of broom you choose. Consequently, their durability can also vary according to the type chosen.

A piassava broom will not last as long as a mop, or electric broom. Some models need to be changed when the bristles are damaged. Models without bristles, and more modern, cost more, but offer a long product life.

It is also worth mentioning that some models, such as mop, require changing the base after a certain time. But the investment is much less than the initial one, since you only need to exchange a part of the product.
