Glad to see others also wash their brooms. I have always periodically washed both my broom and the dustpan and its brush. Why use dirty tools on clean floors? Everybody always laughs at me.
Let 'em laugh. For goodness sake, who would want to use dirty brooms and dustpans? ICK!! LOL. I now usually use my brooms a bit differently so I rarely have to wash them. Few things ick me out more than a dirty dustpan though, so they get washed after almost every use.
First of all, love your practical videos! I have tiled floors with a wide grout so I think the dirt will get trapped there. And it's overpriced, it's practically a squeegee. Thanks for reviewing stuff for us!
I never thought about cleaning/washing my brooms until I saw you wash this product 🤨 Well…I think it’s a great idea and will be cleaning it very shortly… BRB! Thank you for all your testing!
Oh, thanks so much! I have been considering one of these, and this video is just great. I love the way you did it. Helps me immensely in deciding. Nope, if nothing else, I wouldn't like the dustpan for the reason you described and the handle is WAY too short for even my 5'3" self. I have arthritis in my shoulder and the sweeping action that far below my shoulder is not good. As much as I like the idea, I think I'll wait for some improvements before I buy one. Thanks for saving me $40, LOL.
I have one little hint when squeegeeing windows. I put a dirty bath towel on the windowsill to catch the water. Saves a lot of water on your windowsill. Harder to do on a door because the glass is usually several inches from the floor. A pro window washer taught me this hack.
@@FieldOfFocus It was a game-changer for me, lol. I prefer to squeegee my windows but it always led to having to clean dirty water from my windowsills, which made me crazy. Now once the windows are done, it's just toss the dirty towel into the wash and I'm done. He also taught me to use just a little Dawn in water for cleaning with a quick water clean after, my windows always sparkle with little or no scrubbing, even outside. I bless him every time i do this job, which I really don't like to do (smile).
"sweeping" up vomit is a great idea I can't believe ive never heard anyone else mention this or thought of it myself! Cleaning it with paper towels is so horrible, i feel like im just holding it in my hands. Thank you for the future stress you have relieved me from.
I have a duel squege/brush it works great on floors and windows. I have a mr. clean broom that is 23+ years old, yes i wash once a year or so. Thanks for reviewing.
Thank you for the review, I appreciate it. I use the Furminator for my broom. I got it when I had pets. It also has a rubber head, one side is straight, the side has very little nubs. It gets EVERYTHING like a magnet. I only use a standard broom to sweep my porches.
freexing does not actually kill bacteria, it just slows down replication. you put bad meat in the freezer ... it's bad meat when you get it out... or if it's on the edge , it will still spoil quickly!
I own a similar broom. It gets all the pet hair, dust bunnies. And grit from from.the telescoping handle is only problem, it loosens while using. It's great fir in between vac days. I like it.
You made me laugh when suggesting for vomit because that was not what I was expecting lol, but great idea! Kind of pricy for a short handle imo. 🤔 Thank you for sharing! God bless you! ❤
When I used a broom I never washed it however I haven’t used a broom in years, I use an electric floor vacuum, it gets all the dirt and dust that a traditional broom leaves behind and it’s a whole lot less physical work to use.
I have a similar “broom “…the only thing I find it good for is get under the front of my large kitchen appliances…stove, refrigerator, dishwasher etc. 🤷🏼♀️
I watched the video on the helioairbroom website, and it looks like the handle actually does telescope. They show it telescoping just above where the handle connects to the "broom" part. Thanks for testing this - I was curious about it!
If there’s any Asian markets near you, they often have these short, fine grass type intricately woven brooms that seem to generate a static field as they glide across the floor and lift up everything. Very light weight, but they will decompose if they get wet, so.. But they are great. But the handle part is only maybe waist high so you might have to use them differently than our style brooms. But they are so interesting to look at how they weave the bristles. I’m not flirting but you have an amazing shape.
I’d like a comparison of this product with the IKEA pepprig! I’ve used it as a broom for a good while now and it’s amazing. All the same functions for less.
I thought it was a broom that sucked up the dirt piles as you swept, based on the "air" name. But it's just a floor squgee. It's cleaner than all the little bristles that get dirty, but sometimes you need to jam those bristles into a corner to get all the crevices.
I wash my broom by scrubbing the bathroom floor with the broom and some soapy water, and then just rinse with clean water and sweep it towards the drain, which also rinses the broom.
I think for families who have food falling on the floor that system would work. Esp on linoleum, vinyl or tile. I didn't like the idea of the flour getting pressed into the seams of the wood planks. I have tile and wood to deal, am over 5'8" so I would likely go for the hand held version (whisk broom style). Esp. since I do have a cat who occasionally over eats and throws it all up. Thanks for doing this test. I thought you were going to go after the sweep with a wet wipe to show how much was left behind...The video was good enough, though.
Here's the problem i have with washing my broom: it stays wet for hours and hours. You can't really use it while you wait for it to dry so, do I need a "while I'm waiting for my broom to dry" broom? 😅
I'll leave a comment but I need room go clean my broom first.... 😉 never have I cleaned it but I think it's more necessary with a product like this if you were to use it to squeegee glass.
I wash and most importantly disinfect my brooms three times a year. My mother was a lab technician and she told me that brooms just spread germs across each surface. She actually showed it to me under a microscope when I was 14 please clean your brooms.
@ Wonderful! Add in a good quality METAL dustpan and you will be in heaven. For some reason the metal dustpans pick up more. Not sure why - maybe they are thinner and able to hug the ground better.
Great idea for my pet vomit. I hate using so many paper towels. I got a knock off to see if I like it. My handles come untwisted while I’m sweeping. Grapes well though, I have a cat and a dog, Pickens up that hair so much better
Mine broke the first day of use. The broom SNAPPED. Seemed like it swept okay. Until my husband used it. 😅 Buy a regular broom from the dollar store. Its not worth the $30.
Didn’t really like the results I saw in the video for this broom. 🥴But possibly good for other applications like around a pool area to clear out extra water. 🤔🤷🏼♀️
@@lisab3338 So do I. I vacuum everything out of it, squeeze a bit on dish soap in the bottom of my tub, wet the broom, and sweep the soap. Then rinse and let dry. 3 minutes max.
I’ve always washed my brooms! Plus, once you’ve got a bucket of soapy water you can use the broom to wash the floor! I then use an old towel to mop up the water!
The end that appears to telescope, does not. I have had everyone in my home try to turn it and telescope it. It doesn't. So I think I got one that has a wrong part in the kit. Mine does not telescope.
I have real hard wood floors and anyone who does, understands the cracks between slats. I use my bristle broom, then hand vacuum to get dirt between those cracks. Her test on the floors… yea, not impressed. They say you don’t fix what isn’t broken.

Agreed. The paper towel sop up is the worse. Plus at least you can really disinfect the air broom after! Thanks for watching!
I don't have this particular brand but similar and I love it. Really gathers dirt and easy to clean.
Thank you for sharing!!!
This was a great and thorough review. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the review!
I hope it was helpful!
Great video. I just found out it comes with a longer and extendable handle up to 57".
oh good! Mine doesn't extend. I wish it did!!
I have a duel squege/brush it works great on floors and windows. I have a mr. clean broom that is 23+ years old, yes i wash once a year or so. Thanks for reviewing.

Thanks for this review. I saw the ad for it recently and wondered how well it actually worked.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Excellent job with this detailed review!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your support!
I would like to see you test the freezer for removing bacteria. Many people say that works. Maybe with a stuffed animal, towel, etc. Thank you!
Interesting.... I will add that to my viewer suggestion list!
@@FieldOfFocus is the recommended cleaning/deodorizing option on Levi's jeans.

I bought a Jimmy mattress vacuum with UV-c light to kill dust mites. Can you test that?

Glad you enjoyed! I agree it is pricy for a short handle with not many unique uses.
Saw an infomercial last night and was seriously considering this. Thanks
I'm glad you found my video! I hope it was helpful to you!
I’ve never thought, this broom is way to heaven.
This was a great review!
Thank you so much!
I have one too how do I put it together I need help to do it .
Yes you can and should clean your broom with soap and water once in a while 😊great video 😊Thank You
Thanks for your thoughts!
I am thankful I got mIne at a thrift store fir $1. Thanks for reviewing it! 😊 Oops, sorry. Mine is similar, but not this brand
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Looks good

I just ordered one for my elderly mom’s accidents. We’ll see how it works soon.

Great review

Thanks for another great video ❤
Thank you so much!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Thank you so much! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
When I used a broom I never washed it however I haven’t used a broom in years, I use an electric floor vacuum, it gets all the dirt and dust that a traditional broom leaves behind and it’s a whole lot less physical work to use.
I use all sorts of cleaners: brooms, vacuums, stick vacs, robot vacs, steam mop, crosswave.. ahhah I have it all!
I have a similar “broom “…the only thing I find it good for is get under the front of my large kitchen appliances…stove, refrigerator, dishwasher etc. 🤷🏼♀️
It’s good for hard to reach areas for sure! And like I mentioned in the video, I think it would be good for vomit.
I watched the video on the helioairbroom website, and it looks like the handle actually does telescope. They show it telescoping just above where the handle connects to the "broom" part. Thanks for testing this - I was curious about it!
Right but for mine it does not. I have had everyone in my household try. I received a handle that does not telescope.
I love your reviews! ❤
@FieldOfFocus is it similar threads that you could just replace the handle?
Way off topic but you and I look very much alike. I thought someone stole my picture when this video came up on my recommend. Freaked me out😮

I have two brooms. One for inside and one for outside.
I bet that squeegee would work for the deeper egg mishap on the kitchen floor?
That is a good idea! I do think it would would well for egg messes!
December 2024
I have a lot of tile in my home how do you get the dirt out of the grout how many which ways do you have to sweep to get it out
I don't have any tile floors, and I haven't since the early 2000s, so back then I used a vacuum....
I’d like a comparison of this product with the IKEA pepprig! I’ve used it as a broom for a good while now and it’s amazing. All the same functions for less.
Regular brooms can be cleaned easily and you should clean your dustpan as well!
My local hospital has started using squeegee type brooms for cleaning.
Interesting!
Hi! Would you be able to do a video saniziting/disinfecting dishes?
I will add it to my viewer suggestion list! Thanks!

I feel that!!
If you are talking about this broom it'd be easy wash easy dry. And you can wipe it dry. Or else you can get an extra one to use alternately
It would be even better if it had a channel for suction from a small USB charged motor. I actually thought, by the name, it was one with suction.
That would be a useful feature!
That's what I thought too.
Why does my end to connect the pole to the broom look totally different and not work?
I don't know.. mine doesn't telescope... I thought mine might be wrong..😬
I would attach the Swiffer cloths to it. The shape makes it better than a Swiffer for corners.
Interesting idea!
I'll leave a comment but I need room go clean my broom first.... 😉 never have I cleaned it but I think it's more necessary with a product like this if you were to use it to squeegee glass.

The best broom EVER is a soft horsehair broom. It will beat out anything.
I haven't used one but will add it to my list to test!!

Never heard of a horse hair broom
@@barbwright2845 If you are in the US Amazon carries them. 😃

I think it will help not waste paper towels and have to feel it!! Thanks for watching!
Just looked a youtube video and the guy said that the part of the handle with the white section at the top is telescopic
Yes for most. But mine does not telescope. 😬 I got one that doesn’t.
The telescoping part is at the bottom of the broom.
Right but mine doesn’t telescope. I had all my family members try it. It does not work. I must have gotten a defective one.
They have them for 15 dollars at Dollar general 😊
Thanks for sharing!
Mine broke the first day of use. The broom SNAPPED. Seemed like it swept okay. Until my husband used it. 😅
Buy a regular broom from the dollar store. Its not worth the $30.
Sorry to hear it broke! Sounds like you do some full contact sweeping!
@@FieldOfFocus I do indeed. Farm life. You want to make sure you get EVERYTHING! That or it's made us stronger/more foreceful than we realize 😅
Whoa. You look just like the lady of the Wandering French channel. I thought you were her. Doppelgangers.
Gary!
I can get hair off carpet with a comb.
Glad you found what works for you!
Oh yeah that handle would be way too short for me, bummer... Nice review tho
Right! I guess you can’t win them all!
Didn’t really like the results I saw in the video for this broom. 🥴But possibly good for other applications like around a pool area to clear out extra water. 🤔🤷🏼♀️
That is a good idea. I used it yesterday to sweep wet leaves off my porch..
Who washes their broom? 🤷🏼♀️ Not me!
I do
@@lisab3338 So do I. I vacuum everything out of it, squeeze a bit on dish soap in the bottom of my tub, wet the broom, and sweep the soap. Then rinse and let dry. 3 minutes max.
I always have 🤷🏻♀️

I’ve always washed my brooms! Plus, once you’ve got a bucket of soapy water you can use the broom to wash the floor! I then use an old towel to mop up the water!
I’m 5’6 and the handle was way too short. Made it awkward to use.
Right!?! Mine does not telescope!
Not for 29.99. Too much. My flylady broom works better than that, even can use on carpet.
Everyone has their own price point! Glad you have a broom that works for you!
I use Dyson vacuume!! Easier and faster!!!
Thanks for your thoughts.
Broom??? It’s a squeegee for the floor
They call it a broom... but yes it is more like a squeegee!
I don't clean my broom either.
It honestly never occurred to me 😬
I don't think you are using the telescoping portion correctly
The end that appears to telescope, does not. I have had everyone in my home try to turn it and telescope it. It doesn't. So I think I got one that has a wrong part in the kit. Mine does not telescope.
Bummer...🤨
Despite your persuasive reasoning, I'm guessing the sellers won't be advertising "best vomit remover" on the box.
I agree with you!
For cleaning up vomit... yeah maybe. As a regular broom, no.
Thanks for your thoughts!
Not worth the money . I use 2 dust pans to pick up things such as vomit etc .
I will add that to my viewer suggestion list!
So No to that new style broom
Thanks for your thoughts. For some, it might be just what they need...
Handle broke within a week !
