Broom & Brush Construction

Surface textures and types of dirt vary throughout a facility, so choosing the correct broom and brush construction is important for maximum cleaning effectiveness. Rubbermaid brooms and brushes offer a complete range of blocks and fill types to clean virtually any surface.

Block Structures
Structural Foam Block

Resists cracking, splitting, warping and rotting. Helps prevent bacteria growth. Two threaded holes provide long product life.

Wood Block

A classic look that resists moisture and helps prevent cracking. Two threaded holes provide long product life.

Block & Fill Design

Staggered hole pattern prevents gaps in fill material for better performance. Dense fill leads to longer brush life. Flagged tips pick up fine dust and dirt particles. Flared ends allow access to corners.

Natural Fill
Horsehair

Very durable with a naturally flagged tip; good shear/break resistance. Will not scratch smooth or highly polished surfaces. Not for use on oily or wet surfaces.

Palymyra

Medium to highly stiff fiber from the Palmyra Palm provides durability and good bristle recovery. Can be used wet or dry.

Tampico

Soft to medium stiff fiber from the Agave plant. Durable and retains shape after continual use. High resistance to heat, alkali, solvents, and acid. Can be used wet or dry.

Synthetic Fill
Nylon

Very durable with excellent abrasion resistance, shear/break strength, and bristle bend recovery. Will not stain, discolor, or absorb odors. Can be used wet or dry and is resistant to alkalis and most solvents.

Polystyrene

Extremely durable. Excellent bristle bend recovery and shear/break strength. Resistant to water, oils, and solvents. Not for sweeping compounds or oily surfaces.

Polypropylene

Very durable with good abrasion resistance and shear/break strength. Will not stain, discolor, or absorb odors. Resistant to solvents, acids, oils, fungus, and bacteria growth. Can be used wet or dry.

Wire/Metal Fill
Brass

Provides a high degree of abrasion without severely scratching hard surfaces. Will not rust. Best for heavy cleaning of metal or brick surfaces that cannot sustain heavy scratches.

Stainless Steel

Provides a high degree of abrasion and wear resistance. Resists chemicals and rust. Excellent bend recovery. Best for aggressively removing residue from metal or other resilient materials.

Tempered Steel

Provides a high degree of abrasion and wear resistance. Good bend recovery. Best for aggressively removing residue from metal parts or brick work.
