Wooden Hand Broom - Slow Made Goods
A versatile large hand broom crafted from British wood.
Each wooden handle is responsibly sourced by Ewen Brown of Slow Made Goods and carefully crafted into a beautiful broom, with every piece retaining its own unique character. A leather loop at the end makes it easy to hang when not in use.
Among its many uses, this broom is particularly well suited to dusting skirting boards. Its size also makes it the perfect companion to our Harimi paper dustpan for sweeping up everyday dust. Watch the video to see it in action.
The Tampico fibre bristles are highly flexible, making them excellent at reaching into corners and effectively catching fine dust.

Care
When not in use, please hang the item with the loop on the stick's end. Do not leave the broom standing on the bristles to avoid the bristles flare out or bend.

Tampico fibre is good with water, but we recommend to let the bristles air dried completely after using in the wet or damp floor.
