Product Information

Full details

The Red Gorilla Poly Yard Broom (80cm) is designed for efficient outdoor tidying, ideal for yards, stables, and gardens. Its lightweight construction and stiff polypropylene bristles effectively handle dust, grit, and finer debris, while the comfort grip offers enhanced control. A potential caveat is its suitability for finer debris rather than heavy, wet materials, but its all-weather durability and ease of maintenance make it a robust choice for frequent use.

FAQs

What type of debris is this broom best suited for?

This broom is best suited for fine debris such as dust, grit, sand, and light dry materials. It is not ideal for heavy, wet, or large debris.

Can I use this broom in wet conditions?

Yes, the polypropylene bristles are designed to be unaffected by water and do not absorb liquids, making them suitable for use in damp conditions or after rain.

Is the broom head replaceable?

Yes, the broom head features a universal screw fit and can be replaced if it becomes worn or damaged, allowing you to continue using the same handle.

How do I clean the broom?

You can rinse the broom with water after use. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and water. Allow it to air dry completely before storing.

What are the dimensions of the broom head?

The product description specifies an 80cm handle length, and the head is designed with a narrow profile for getting into tight spaces. Specific head width is not provided but it's described as a 'mini broom head'.

Is this broom suitable for indoor use?

While it can be used indoors on sturdy surfaces, its stiff bristles are primarily designed for outdoor use on yards, stables, and gardens. For delicate indoor flooring, a softer brush may be more appropriate.

What makes the bristles 'stiff'?

The stiffness comes from the material (polypropylene) and its cut. This stiffness allows the broom to effectively flick and gather finer particles from surfaces without bending excessively.

Troubleshooting

Bristles are splayed or not returning to original shape.

Ensure the broom is stored upright or hung, not resting on the bristles. If used in very wet conditions, allow ample drying time. For minor splaying, soaking the bristles in warm water and then allowing them to dry upright may help restore their shape.

Broom head feels loose on the handle.

Check that the universal screw fitting on both the head and handle is clear of debris. Re-attach the head to the handle, ensuring it is screwed in firmly until secure. If the handle fitting is worn, consider replacing the handle.

Reduced sweeping effectiveness.

Clean the bristles thoroughly to remove any packed-in dirt or debris. Check for any damage to the bristles. Ensure you are using the broom for its intended purpose (fine debris) and not attempting to sweep very large or wet materials.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for sweeping fine debris like dust and grit.
  • Durable and long-lasting due to polypropylene bristles.
  • Suitable for use in all weather conditions.
  • Lightweight for comfortable handling and control.
  • Easy to clean and maintain.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for very heavy or wet debris.
  • Bristles are stiff, which might not be ideal for delicate surfaces.
  • The mini head size might require more passes for very large areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Red Gorilla Poly Yard Broom features a universal screw fit, designed to easily attach to a standard broom handle. Simply align the broom head's fitting with the handle and twist until secure.

Compatibility: This broom head is compatible with any handle featuring a standard universal screw fitting, most commonly found with the original Gorilla Broom handles.

Care: To maintain the broom's performance and longevity:

  1. Rinse After Use: After each use, rinse the bristles with water to remove any stuck-on debris.
  2. Air Dry: Store the broom upright or hang it by the handle to allow bristles to air dry completely. Avoid resting it directly on the bristles.
  3. Washing: The polypropylene bristles can be washed with mild soap and water if necessary. They are impervious to most chemicals, but avoid harsh solvents.
  4. Storage: Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the material's integrity.
