The bristles really shine on hardwood or tile floors.Ī squeegee runs along the rear length of the broom head. Collecting crumbs and hair, nothing was safe. If you have hair under the molding, in corners or trapped against table and chair legs, you’ll want to sweep this out into the open with a traditional, nylon-bristled broom first.īut in the open areas, the Sweepa was a beast.

Then, you probably just need a broom for dog hair and nothing else.ĭespite the completely rubber head, it doesn’t move or bend. If you have large areas of carpet, you probably want to check out our next two picks – they will get the job done in half the time.
