A small broom for the kitchen, a floor squeegee for spills or a rubber broom for dog hair: brooms and cleaning equipment may seem simple to choose, but small differences can make a big impact on how convenient they are to use. A broom that’s too narrow makes cleaning large floors unnecessarily time-consuming. The wrong squeegee can leave streaks, while a mop that isn’t stored properly can soon get in the way.
So don’t focus only on the price or an attention-grabbing product claim. Consider the material, size, type of dirt and how you’ll store the equipment after use.
A soft dust broom is designed for dry dust on smooth floors. For sand, leaves and heavier outdoor dirt, you’ll need a sturdier garden broom or yard broom. Use a soft broom on a patio and cleaning could take longer. On the other hand, stiff bristles may not be suitable for delicate floors or carpets.
Check the stated uses before you buy. According to the product information, a yard broom made from wood and plant fibres may be suitable for cement and ceramic tiles, while a microfibre broom is better suited to everyday indoor use.
A cleaning set with several heads may look appealing, but accessories are only useful if they suit your routine. Check whether the parts can be removed and washed. For a floor squeegee, you should also make sure it can dry properly after use. A damp mop left rolled up can quickly start to smell unpleasant.
For a vacuum cleaner or wet and dry vacuum, filters, collection bins and charging options matter more than motor power alone. A model with a convenient wall mount may get used more often because it’s always close to hand.
A broom that keeps falling over behind a door can get damaged or become a trip hazard. When choosing a broom holder or mop holder, check the handle diameter, load capacity and mounting method. Make sure the wall is suitable for screws and wall plugs, too. A holder is no substitute for secure installation.
For removing dog hair from carpets, an ordinary soft broom may be less effective. A carpet brush or rubber brush head could be more practical, as the rubber edge or bristles gather up the hair. Results will depend on the type of carpet and how much dirt there is.
A wide head means fewer sweeps on a patio or in a hallway, but it’s less manoeuvrable in small rooms. A 60 cm yard broom is designed for larger hard surfaces. For a flat, a compact broom or hand brush and dustpan may be more convenient.
A telescopic handle is useful when several people share the same tool. Check that the locking mechanism is secure and that the handle adjusts to a comfortable length. A broom that’s too short can be uncomfortable to use, while one that’s too long can be harder to manoeuvre.
For a wall holder, two measurements matter: the handle diameter and the maximum load. According to the product specifications, GARTOL holders fit handles measuring 18 to 35 mm and can hold up to 4.5 kg per holder. This information can be checked in the product description, but the wall and chosen wall plugs must also be able to support the weight.
Don’t drill into tiles, plasterboard or a painted wall without checking first. Follow the included installation instructions and make sure the holder doesn’t move once fitted.
Why it suits this type of user: This compact hand brush and dustpan is ready to use for crumbs, dry dirt and small spills in the kitchen, bedroom or living room.

Why it suits this type of user: For households, offices, garages and garden owners with several brooms, mops, shovels or rakes, this set of twelve secure storage points helps keep everything organised.
According to the product specifications, the adjustable rolling ball grips handles measuring 18 to 35 mm. It still needs to be mounted on a sturdy wall.
Twelve holders, rust-resistant manganese spring steel, rubber grips and a stated load capacity of 4.5 kg per holder.
We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
A broom is a quick way to clear crumbs, dust and loose dirt. For pet hair on upholstery, in car interiors or in hard-to-reach places, a compact vacuum cleaner may be more practical. According to the product information, the Severin HV 7146 has an 18.5 V Li-ion battery, a rotating turbo brush, LED lighting and a wet and dry function. Only use the liquid function as described in the manual and within the stated capacity.
A wet and dry vacuum cleaner is particularly useful if you regularly need to pick up liquids as well as dry dirt. For the occasional small spill, a rubber broom with a squeegee edge may be enough. After using it on wet messes, always check the collection bin and let any removable parts dry completely.
For dog hair on hard floors and some carpets, a rubber broom or carpet brush may be more suitable than a soft dust broom. A rubber edge helps gather up hair. Check the product description and test it carefully on delicate flooring or carpet.
Choose a broom holder or mop holder that fits the handle diameter. Fit it to a sturdy wall, let a wet mop drain first and avoid leaving cleaning tools standing against a damp floor for long periods. A wall holder with several slots is useful if you want to store different tools separately.
Its lifespan depends on how often you use it, the surface, the material and how well you maintain it. Rinse rubber or plastic heads after use, remove dirt from the bristles and store everything dry. Replace a broom when the bristles become misshapen, the handle comes loose or the squeegee edge no longer makes proper contact.
