have long been a symbol of the home and of married life. Fuller Brush offers some of the most durable, highest quality brooms in the world.

There is a tradition in many cultures around the world that calls for a newly married couple to jump over a broom on their wedding day. Why a broom? Brooms have long represented the hearth, which is the heart of the home. In fact, during the ritual, a family matriarch will usually sweep away the dirt and the dust that lies before the new couple. Then the newlyweds jump the broom and enter their new lives together on a clean path. The broom is an apt symbol because it is one of the most frequently used tools in the home. It is also used to clean up messes and is relied upon almost daily. When purchasing a broom you want one that will stand the test of time and will not let you down. Fuller Brush makes some of the highest quality brooms in the world today.

Brooms from Fuller Brush have a lifespan of 5-10 years and have lasted over one million sweeps in laboratory tests. One of the reasons these brooms are so durable is because they offer polypropylene bristles that resists chemicals and do not shed. They are double-stitched and affixed in a riveted metal casing. They also have split-bristle ends that catch every bit of dust and dirt. The baked enamel handle is one of the most durable on the market today and sports a convenient hang-up ring. It is 38 ¾ inches long and made of steel. Brooms are one of the easiest household tools to maintain, especially those made with polypropylene bristles. You just wash them in soapy water, hang them on a hook and let them air dry.

As we mentioned, the broom is one of the most frequently used tools in the home. It is used to clean up messes both big and small. It is because the broom is so popular that it became the symbolic prop that couples would leap over on their wedding day. Then, later on, these couples would use the broom and remember all the fun and happiness of that day. This would immediately lighten their mood and make a simple household chore seem a little less like work. When selecting brooms, choose one like those that are offered by Fuller Brush that will stand the test of time.
