- A broom is a cleaning tool
consisting of stiff fibres attached to, and roughly parallel to, a
cylindrical handle, the broomstick. It is commonly used in combination
with a dustpan.
- Brooms have been used for
centuries to sweep up, in, and around the home and workplace.
- They may be made from a
variety of materials, both man-made and natural.
- Man-made bristles are
generally of extruded plastic and metal handles.
- Natural-material brooms may
be constructed of a variety of materials, including brush, but generally
include stiff grasses such as broomcorn and/or sotol fiber.
- Broomcom brooms have been
made for at least 200 years and are considered superior brooms.
- Plastic brooms merely move
dirt around, however, broomcom stalks actually absorb dirt and dust,
wear extremely well, and are moisture-resistant.
- Broomcom brooms are the most
expensive of the manufactured brooms.
- Classes of brooms recognized
by the trade are parlor brooms, carpet brooms, standard brooms,
warehouse brooms, whisk brooms, and hearth or
toy brooms.
- The most widely available
fiber, and generally the best for most types of brooms, is obtained from
broomcorn.
- Some brooms are made from
vegetable fibers such as palmyra stalks, rice straw, piassava, rice
root, and even grass, sedge, and twigs in certain parts of the
world.
- The production processes in
broom manufacture include sorting, evening, bundle-cutting, preliminary
seeding and scraping, winding, final scraping and seeding, stitching,
trimming, labeling and bundling.
- Among brooms available in
the market, mainly two of the varieties owe their origin to the forests
thorn and hill brooms.
- Brooms are a big business in
western and southern Orissa.
