General Cleaning Products

Broom and Dustpan: Brooms have stiff bristles made from straw or plastic. The broom can be used to sweep dirt, fur, crumbs and any other debris that may end up on a floor that isn’t carpeted. After being swept with a duster or broom, a dustpan is used for picking them up.
