Broom Head & Bristles
Cleaning · Easy
The brush block that actually meets the floor. Splayed or matted bristles just smear grit — swap the head and the same handle sweeps like new.

Tools you may need
- None
Steps
- Separate the old head from the handle.
- Compare the new head's socket to your handle end.
- Thread or clip the head on until it locks.
- Sweep a test patch — bristles should flex, not bend sideways flat.
Maintenance
Pull debris out of bristles after gritty sweeps; wash heads quarterly in soapy water and dry bristles-down. (Suggested interval: every month.)
