Broomy

This broom has three pieces: the handle, brace, and brush. The handle is the longest section and has a semi-gloss grey paint scheme. The handle is 1 inch in diameter, 45 inches long, and is clean. At the top of the handle there is a lime-green cap with a few ridges and a hole through the end. This cap covers the hollow tube that is the handle. Near the top of the handle there is a dent. This dent is where a dustpan should not go. But one has been forced on. Surprisingly, the handle is not scratched or in otherwise bad condition. It looks new save for the dent near the top.

The brace is lime green, 2.5 inches at one end, 3.0 inches at the other, and widens to make space for the brush bristles. To reduce the mass of the brace there are two semicircle holes cut through. The brace has a 15-degree angle distally. This angle helps aid in sweeping. At the end of the brace the bristles have been punched into the plastic. The bristles are shorter on one end than the other. The bristles fan out and are vey tensile yet still have enough strength to facilitate sweeping. The end of the broom is dirty. There are specs of dust on the brace while there are clumps of dust, hair, and string attached to the end.

           Due to the fact that some bristles are longer than others, there is more weight on that side of the broom. When gripping the broom the heavier side tends to fall to the floor. So the broom has to be repositioned so the shorter end is near the body while the longer side’s away. The purpose for the different lengths helps when sweeping. The design reduces the amount of effort one has to use while sweeping. When the broom is used the kitchen floor becomes clean.
