Can a broom be better than a vacuum cleaner?

Can a broom be better than a vacuum cleaner?

 

Some might say using a vacuum is the easiest way to clean the floor. But is it? First of all, they are expensive. Second, they need to be charged frequently or wires can annoy you a lot when cleaning the floor itself is an already annoying job. But using brooms is not a good alternative considering their inability to clean small clouds of dust and furs satisfyingly. 

What if there is a Broom That Works Just like a Vacuum?

Here is the broom that I proudly represent, the Broombi. Broombi cleans any mess perfectly and efficiently with a single sweep. This genius item is extremely effective in sweeping up various debris, fine dust, liquids, human hair, pet hair, and broken glass pieces.

If you imagine using brooms, it always leaves dust unswept even after several times of sweeping. But broombi is different. It cleans gooey kitchen messes like an unboiled egg with ease. It even sweeps liquids on the floor perfectly. The best part is that it can clean pet hair on your blanket, cushion, carpet, and elsewhere. 

The reason why this broom can do extraordinary things is that it is a silicon broom designed with a quadruple-layered silicon blade. The special patented frame design directs wind flow to prevent dust particles from escaping the electro-statically activated broom blades.

The Science behind Broombi’s Special Skills

  1. The first blade attracts dust particles with static electricity that activates when rubbing against the floor. The static electricity acts like a magnet, sucking in even the tiniest dust particles. 
  2. The second blade specializes in collecting hair – perfect for pet owners. The second blade layer scrapes out hair and dust particles deeply planted in rugs, carpets, and fabric. 
  3. The third blade sweeps in and attracts the dust and hair that has been scraped out. 
  4. The last blade once again sweeps in the tiniest dust particles that still might exist. With a single sweep, your cleaning results are quadrupled!

Patented Dustpan along with the Broom!

The Broombi Dustpan works in perfect harmony with the smart broom. It includes a patented semi-automatic retractable bin – a unique feature not seen in any other dustpan until now! This addition alone where the dustpan easily “opens and closes” without having to do so manually, frees up your hands and saves your back from constant bending. The Broombi Dustpans’ innovative ergonomic design, with other several “smart features” make cleaning a breeze!

This dust pan solves other problems of average dustpans in the market. Broombi Dustpan’s asymmetrical 0.04 slim edge design enables the Broombi Dustpan to stick to the floor tightly and scrape up liquid contaminants and tiny glass shards with ease. The Broombi Dustpan’s unique design incorporates a 15°retaining wall that prevents any litter from escaping, eliminating the need to sweep up twice.

Plus, it does not let your litter overflow or spill onto the floor before it reaches the trashcan. The smart design incorporates a curved “retaining wall” that enables you to easily remove debris without spilling. The debris in the dustpan is collected to one side and can be dumped into an opening as small as a food jar without spilling.

The Hustle-free Cleaning Set

Not to mention that it is super effective, it is very light. Broombi is lighter than a can of soda (or beer) and easy enough to use with one hand, yet extremely durable. Plus, the adjustable length handle can stretch up to 55” to tackle any job around the house – under beds, couches, and high windows. As a result, Broombi relieves stress on your neck, waist, shoulders, and joints by being able to adjust the length to match your height.

Broombi will provide a wonderful cleaning experience of your life. Observing the dirty messes to be cleaned perfectly with just one sweep is such a beautiful thing. 

Cleaning your house doesn’t need to be difficult. With Broombi, you don’t need numerous refills of wipes and worry about some dust being redistributed again. 

Efficient, Economical and Durable

The Broombi Ver. 2 patented design works “magically” by utilizing the magnetizing power of static electricity created from the quadruple blade design to clean and capture all dust particles. Moreover, since it is made from high-performance materials that can handle high heat and low temperatures, it is long-lasting. The average cost of cleaning products increases mainly due to the short life span of brooms and other disposables. With a durable non-slip handle and no disposable or replacement parts, Broombi will last for years and this amounts to hundreds of dollars saved and a great reduction in disposable waste products.
