In the age of robot vacuum cleaners, why does your home still need a set of high-quality brooms?

With the popularity of sweeping robots and floor scrubbers, many people think that traditional brooms are "outdated". But in fact, a high-quality broom and dustpan set is still an indispensable cleaning tool for modern families.

1. Six blind spots of sweeping robots

Ø Stubborn dust in corners and gaps

Robot shortcomings: The round body cannot penetrate into the corners and the bottom of furniture (areas less than 8cm from the ground).

Broom advantages: The flat and thin brush head can easily clean dead corners such as skirtings and cabinet bottoms.

Ø Sudden liquid/particle spillage

Robot shortcomings: Overturned cereal and coffee grounds may get stuck in the roller brush or contaminate the water tank.

Broom advantages: Quick dry sweeping + dustpan storage, solve emergencies in 10 seconds.

Ø Pet hair clumping problem

Robot shortcomings: Long-haired pets easily entangle the main brush with their hair, which needs to be cleaned manually.

Broom advantages: The electrostatic dust removal broom can scrape the hair balls with one click without flying.

Ø Kitchen floor with heavy oil stains

Robot shortcoming: Oil stains will adhere to the robot wheels and sensors.

Broom advantage: Hard-bristle brush + oil-proof dustpan, with decontamination powder for direct physical removal.

Ø Balcony/entrance garden mud and sand

Robot shortcoming: Sand and gravel may wear the internal parts of the machine.

Broom advantage: Wide-bristle broom + large-capacity dustpan, suitable for outdoor dirt.

Ø Emergency cleaning in case of power outage or failure

Robot shortcoming: Completely stopped when there is no power/system jam.

Broom advantage: No need to charge, available at any time.

2. Five core features of the broom and dustpan set

Flexible response to a variety of cleaning scenarios

Applicable floors:

Hard floors (cereals, wooden floors)

Short-haired carpets, floor mats

Outdoor areas such as balconies and garages

Applicable stains:

Efficient cleaning of corners and gaps

The flat brush head can easily clean the baseboards, cabinet bottoms, and stair gaps.

The narrow dustpan design fits the corners to collect garbage.

Quick response to emergencies

No need to wait:

The sweeping robot needs to be charged and routed, while the broom is ready to use.

When liquid is spilled, the broom + dustpan is safer than the robot (to avoid circuit damage).

Low maintenance, high durability

No need for complex maintenance:

Does not rely on battery, APP or accessories replacement.

It can be cleaned by rinsing with clean water, and the life span can reach 3-5 years.

Environmental protection and economy

Zero power consumption: suitable for environmentally friendly families or power-limited scenarios.

Usage and maintenance tips

• After cleaning, dry the brush upside down to prevent the bristles from deforming.
• Trimming the tangled hair regularly to maintain the efficiency of the broom.
• For stubborn stains, rinse the brush head with a neutral detergent.

3.FAQs for broom and dustpan sets

Q1: What is the use of the rubber strip on the edge of the dustpan?

Core functions:

Sealing and leakproof: The rubber strip can fit tightly to the ground, and dust will not escape from the gap when sweeping

Silent buffering: Reduce friction noise with the floor (especially for night use)  Maintenance tips: After the rubber strip ages and hardens (about 2 years), it can be soaked in hot water to restore elasticity

Q2: What is the most suitable length for the broom handle?

Purchasing guide:

Height below 1.6m: Choose a 1.2m short handle (avoid excessive bending of the waist)

Height 1.6-1.8m: 1.35m standard handle is the most common

Height 1.8m+: 1.5m extended handle (aluminum alloy material is recommended to reduce weight)

Q3: Can the broom be washed? How to dry it?

Cleaning instructions:

Rinse with warm water below 40°C + neutral detergent

Hang the brush with the bristles facing down to dry (avoid direct sunlight)

Do not use bleach or steel wool (damages the material)
