Brooms and Brushes<br />
BROOM AND BRUSH CONSTRUCTION<br />
Surface textures and types of dirt vary throughout a facility, so<br />
choosing the correct broom and brush construction is important<br />
for maximum cleaning effectiveness. Rubbermaid Commercial<br />
Products’ brooms and brushes offer a complete range of blocks<br />
and fill types to clean virtually any surface.<br />

BLOCK STRUCTURES<br />
STRUCTURAL FOAM<br />
BLOCK<br />
Resists cracking, splitting,<br />
warping, and rotting. Helps<br />
prevent bacteria growth. Two<br />
threaded holes provide long<br />
product life.<br />
WOOD BLOCK<br />
A classic look that resists<br />
moisture and helps prevent<br />
cracking. Two threaded holes<br />
provide long product life.<br />
BLOCK AND FILL DESIGN<br />
Staggered hole pattern<br />
prevents gaps in fill material<br />
for better performance. Dense<br />
fill leads to longer brush life.<br />
Flagged tips pick up fine dust<br />
and dirt particles. Flared ends<br />
allow access to corners.<br />
CLEANING<br />
& SAFETY<br />
FILL—NATURAL<br />
HORSEHAIR<br />
Very durable with a naturally<br />
flagged tip; good shear/break<br />
resistance. Will not scratch<br />
smooth or highly polished<br />
surfaces. Not for use on oily or<br />
wet surfaces.<br />
PALMYRA<br />
Medium to highly stiff fiber<br />
from the Palmyra Palm<br />
provides durability and good<br />
bristle recovery. Can be used<br />
wet or dry.<br />
TAMPICO<br />
Soft to medium stiff fiber from<br />
the Agave plant. Durable and<br />
retains shape after continual<br />
use. High resistance to heat,<br />
alkali, solvents, and acid. Can<br />
be used wet or dry.<br />
MATERIAL HANDLING<br />
FILL—SYNTHETIC<br />
NYLON<br />
Very durable with excellent<br />
abrasion resistance, shear/<br />
break strength, and bristle<br />
bend recovery. Will not stain,<br />
discolor, or absorb odors.<br />
Can be used wet or dry and<br />
resistant to alkalis and most<br />
solvents.<br />
POLYSTYRENE<br />
Extremely durable. Excellent<br />
bristle bend recovery and<br />
shear/break strength. Resistant<br />
to water, oils, and solvents.<br />
Not for sweeping compounds<br />
or oily surfaces.<br />
POLYPROPYLENE<br />
Very durable with good<br />
abrasion resistance and shear/<br />
break strength. Will not stain,<br />
discolor, or absorb odors.<br />
Resistant to solvents, acids,<br />
oils, fungus, and bacteria<br />
growth. Can be used wet<br />
or dry.<br />
WASHROOM<br />
FILL—WIRE/METAL<br />
BRASS<br />
Provides a high degree of<br />
abrasion without severely<br />
scratching hard surfaces.<br />
Will not rust. Best for heavy<br />
cleaning of metal or brick<br />
surfaces that cannot sustain<br />
heavy scratches.<br />
STAINLESS STEEL<br />
Provides a high degree of<br />
abrasion and wear resistance.<br />
Resists chemicals and rust.<br />
Excellent bend recovery. Best<br />
for aggressively removing<br />
residue from metal or other<br />
resilient materials.<br />
TEMPERED STEEL<br />
Provides a high degree of<br />
abrasion and wear resistance.<br />
Good bend recovery. Best for<br />
aggressively removing residue<br />
from metal parts or brick work.<br />
