Know before you buy
The double-headed design provides two distinct cleaning surfaces, allowing you to switch between sides for different debris or to extend the life of the bristles. It is specifically engineered for indoor whisking tasks, such as clearing crumbs from surfaces or dusting tight corners.
Yes, lutindzi grass is a naturally resilient fiber known for its strength and flexibility. When tightly bound as it is in this broom, it creates a durable tool that maintains its shape and effectiveness through regular indoor use.
The broom features an integrated hanging loop, which is the recommended way to store it. Hanging the broom helps maintain the integrity of the bristles and prevents them from bending or flattening over time.
The natural fibers are relatively soft, making them suitable for dusting or sweeping delicate surfaces like tabletops, bookshelves, or upholstery. However, as with any natural fiber tool, we recommend testing a small, inconspicuous area first.
To clean the bristles, gently shake the broom outdoors or use a soft brush to remove trapped dust. Avoid soaking the broom in water, as natural fibers like lutindzi and sisal are best kept dry to ensure longevity.
