Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose
Ensure the handle is securely screwed into the broom head. Re-tighten if necessary. Check for any debris obstructing the threads.
Bristles are stiff and not sweeping effectively
Natural corn bristles may be stiff initially. Use the broom on a rougher dry surface or lightly dampen the bristles (and allow to dry) to help them soften with use.
Excessive shedding of bristles
Some initial shedding is normal. Continue to use the broom, and the shedding should reduce. Gently brush the broom head to remove loose fibers.
Broom used on wet surface
Allow the broom head to dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat. Avoid storing when damp to prevent mold.
