Having lino in the kitchen, both bathrooms and laminate in the porch and by the back door, I have to sweep quite often. I am known to be quite lazy and just hoover over these but it doesn't have the same cleaning ability as a good old sweep and mop.

The brooms are now designed to have a slightly more traditional look than the one in the piccie above. They now have a wooden effect handle and the broom head is a more functional shape, the pale blue (also available in ...  Read the complete review
