Broom Care - Brooms for Life

With proper care, these hand tied and heirloom quality brooms and brushes will last for many years!

When your heirs are ready to replace a broom or brush, the twine can be recycled and the rest can simply be returned to the earth.

Brooms for Life.

Here are some tips to keep your handmade brooms fresh and functional here in the humid conditions in the UK for many years to come:

• Do not store your broom outdoors, even under cover
• Always hang by its hanger, or stand it brush head end up
• Never stand or store it on its bristles
• To straighten bent ends, dip into warm water for an hour and reshape, hanging to dry
• Another way to straighten bent ends is to blow dry with a hair dryer on a gentle, warm setting reshaping with hands
• To prevent brittle ends, occasionally dip in warm water and hang to dry
• Always store in a moisture free, well ventilated area to dry
• Store away from direct sunlight to prevent discolouration
• If mould or mildew appears on the bristles, wipe clean with a cloth dipped in vinegar and water
