When you’re searching for the best brooms, a variety of factors affect your choice. First, think about the size — do you need a large broom to clean a garage, or do you need a small broom for an apartment kitchen. Then, consider strength; heavy-duty brooms are ideal for commercial or outdoor spaces, while softer bristles are safer on scratch-prone flooring. Other things to consider include the length of the handle, included accessories, and the width of the broom head. With so many sizes and styles on the market, there’s a broom for every room. To help you make the right choice, we’ve gathered 10 of our favorite models.
