Purchase criteria
Material of the broom head
The head of the brushwood broom is in most cases made from either birch twigs or bamboo grasses. Willow branches are also used from time to time. All of the materials mentioned are well suited.
However, bamboo is particularly popular because it is undoubtedly the most sustainable material. A tree does not have to die for a brush made of bamboo. In addition, bamboo grasses are considered hard and robust, but still light. These properties have a positive effect on handling when sweeping.
Tips
When tying yourself, the combination of birch and willow with blueberry branches is popular in order to achieve different bristle thicknesses.
Material of the stem
For an authentic sticks broom, of course, the only possible handle materials are wood and bamboo.
Note: A handle is not always included in the scope of delivery. If it is missing, you have to buy one separately or make one yourself from natural material. For handles you need strong metal or steel wire that you tie around the handle and the top of the broom, and a nail that you drive in across to hold the handle in place.
overall length
Especially with brush brooms, which are primarily intended as a decorative element and accessory for the costume party at Mardi Gras or Halloween, the length often leaves a lot to be desired. However, this often also applies to the "real" brushwood. So that sooner or later you won't have back pain and other pain when sweeping with the utensil Bargaining complications, you should make sure when buying that the total length to your Body size fits.
Tips
Since you usually press the broom head more or less hard on the surface when sweeping, it makes sense to think 10 to 15 centimeters away from the specified dimension. If the length still seems satisfactory, you can finally order with a clear conscience.
Working width
The wider the broom head, the faster you can sweep. Guide value: With a working width of around 30 to 60 centimeters, you achieve a good balance between speed and precision.
Tips
How wide the broom head actually is always depends on the pressure you exert when sweeping.
Build quality
Far more than the exact materials (they don't take much), the processing quality determines the robustness, resistance and service life of the brushwood. In order to make the charming cleaning assistant for the yard, stable and garden stable, you need it In addition to the natural materials, some metal or steel wire and one Nail. This allows the head and handle to be connected to form a stable unit.
Tips
Whenever possible, read customer reviews and reviews regarding the quality of the Processing to get an impression of whether you are expecting a durable brush can. If reporting is not available, willy-nilly you must be the first to take the test. In that case, we ask you, on behalf of all people who want to buy a brush, to write a short review in which you share your experiences.
Always remember that real brushes are always handcrafted unique items.
sustainability
Only buy brushes that do not contain any plastic at all. Otherwise the real point would be gone and you could also use a modern broom with plastic bristles and a synthetic handle. The most environmentally friendly brushes are made of bamboo.
Number of brooms
Our analysis has shown:
- Brushes are commonly sold as a set consisting of several copies
- the larger the set, the cheaper the price per brush
This is not the only reason why we advise you not to buy a single broom, but a set. The wear and tear is high even with high-quality designs, so that it is worthwhile to buy a stock if the spatial conditions allow it.
