Superior Performance Silicone Push Broom - 208

It picks a lot of long dog hair out of my carpet before I run my Roomba, so the Roomba rollers don't get clogged.

Years ago I bought the "One Sweep" from the TV commercials. I loved it and after using mine daily sweeping a barn aisle, it finally fell apart. I tried several similar brooms looking for one that would be as effective as the One Sweep. The more expensive and softer silicone bristles did not sweep fine dirt without going over it a second and third time. Some of the shorter bristle rubber or silicone bristles were too short and didn't deliver good results.This broom is rubber - not silicone as described in the listing, but I am pretty happy with it. I only wish they made it in a wider head. At 13" wide, it's very effective, but doesn't cover a lot of ground. 15" to 18" would be better, but it seems to be a very sturdy broom.

So I've been looking for a way to clean my hard floors. We have 5 kids and 2 dogs. One's a spaniel and one's a timber wolf and she is hairy. She sheds a lot! We have allergies and asthma so traditional sweeping is out. I had recently purchased a $300 vacuum and it's awful! I went looking for a allergy/asthma friendly broom and came across this.So far, it does a fantastic job! Sweeps up little and big stuff, leaving nothing behind. And from what I can tell, it's not filling the air with dust and stuff.2 cons- you can't sweep under things (like couch or TV stand) so you actually have to move those items. Also, it's hard to sweep right along the walls. Work hard enough and you'll get it, but it's a challenge. If they could improve on those 2 things, I think this would be a 5 star product!Edit to add- I love this thing! Even though it has the couple cons, it's worth it. I just dropped a batch of boiling hot egg soup. Used the sponge side to sweep it all up, paper towels to pick that pile up, then wraped a cloth around the broom and mopped up the rest. Great product!

I love the way this cleaning buddy makes hard to clean tile grout floors so simple + efficient!!!

One of my main uses is to clear light snow falls off my steps & walkway. I use both sides, the squeegee first, then the brush side to clear out the cracks. Best of the rubber brums I've tried.

I was very hopeful for carpet hair removal, given the reviews. I have many types of carpet, including thick wool.HOWEVER,...The broom only minimally removes surface hair, forms the hair into a roll, and then skips over the roll unless you use very short pull strokes. Requires multiple pulls to get a roll of hair close enough to pick up. Pushing is inefficient; the broom stutters across the carpet or gets stuck from having the broom head at the wrong angle during a push motion.I tried tucking a wet cleaning cloth and this works very well on bare floors.I was very pleased by the quality of the broom. To attach the handle, unscrew the cap attached to the broom head and slide this up the handle. Screw the handle into the broom head, lower the cap and screw back to the broom head. I love this design! The handle is very securely in place and will not loosen or turn out! YAY on this great attention to detail.SO, I decided to simply use the two I ordered to replace the other two now-worn out, similar brooms I have had for years (different brand).I have ordered a metal rug rake that looks like a huge version of a pet grooming comb that has multiple row of metal hairs. Hope that will work to actually pull hair from deeper within carpets.

I don't have carpeting in my house, but I have a black lab and a busy family with a lot of outdoor activities. I use this broom to sweep my kitchen tile floors and the rest of the house, which is hard wood. I've also utilized the push-throughs on top of the broom head to attached a damp towel to function as a damp mop. I give this a 3 star rating based on the below:Positives:It helps gather dust/dirt, grass, dog hair, crumbs, and even - yes, I'll go there - glitterI'm impressed by the collection ability, and being able to gather it all very closely without it flying everywhereIt washes clean easily, and the conversion to a reusable mop is pretty clever and easyIt has a squeegee side that REALLY came in handy during a recent basement flood, and for stuck-on dirt.Negatives:You must PULL this broom. It doesn't sweep like a traditional broom, and I've not been able to effectively push it as shown in the photos. That makes using it a lot of work. I like the effects, but feel like I get a workout just using it.Overall:I'll keep using it, am happy I got it, but wouldn't recommend without caveats.

This is one of those products that you come across and go "I should've been using this all along!"I had become frustrated with using a microfiber duster to sweep my floors because it was terrible at sweeping all the dustballs that it collects into a dustpan to be thrown out. Don't get me wrong, the duster does what it's supposed to do: collect dust, but that's all it does. I found myself having to use my old straw broom to sweep the collected dust into the pan, but it kicks up so much dust (the reason the duster is useful) that I ended up searching to see if silicone brooms had been invented. Lo and behold, I've been behind the times all along. This broom is so great, especially the squeegee end that I use it more than my duster now. It's the perfect broom for hard floors (tile, hard wood, lanolium, laminate wood, etc). Now I feel comfortable finally chucking my old straw broom. I especially like how easy it is to rinse this broom clean and that it works on wet dirt. I'll definitely be recommending this to my friends and family.

It is made of rubber, not Silicone.
