Vileda DuActiva Anti Dust Broom

Product Information

It comes with a generously sized brush head, 26 cm, so you’ll be able to clean both big and small areas with ease. And because of its size and softer bristles, it’ll also be useful when it comes to clean in and around corners! Allergy sufferers need to keep their bedrooms clean and dust-free. The Vileda Duactiva anti dust broom removes all the fine dust from your floor thanks to its anti-dust barrier. The foam strip is removable and can be easily rinsed with water to clean the dust collected from it. You’d also need to be careful when you use this brush on other flooring, like fine carpet and tile too. The bristles could damage a delicate carpet’s fibres and could also scratch a floor made from tiles.

Unlike other brooms on this list, this broom has harder-wearing bristles, so it’s ideal if you need to brush up tough outdoor dirt or grotty carpets. However, the fact that the Basic Broom’s bristles are so tough, makes it particularly unsuitable for hardwood flooring in a home. If you were to use such a brush to sweep the floors, you’d run the risk of scratching the surface. Small ‘v’ and ‘blade’ shaped rubber bristles are actually placed along the head, and are used to dislodge and gather up the grime.This provides you with an overall better clean, and it stops you from having to retrace your steps and re-cleaning spots. Further to this, brooms that are used indoors aren’t usually as heavy as outdoor brooms because they don’t need to be. The handle on the broom can be extended to a maximum of 134 cm, while the dustpan’s handle is 80 cm long.

On the topic of dustpans, unlike some other dustpans on this list, the OXO dustpan has bristles attached to it, so when you brush the debris into the pan, you can drag the head of the broom through the pan’s bristles to dislodge any dirt. Vileda’s DuActiva Anti Dust Broom is one of the most expensive entries on this list, but the quality craftsmanship of this broom outweighs that of its cheaper competitors. With it's smart design, the Vileda anti dust broom combines two functions in one broom to ensure an optimal cleaning result in one sweep. The bristle side gathers up dirt, bigger particles and hairs, whether your own or your pet’s, on even or uneven surfaces. The foam side collects fine dust and is a barrier to dust raising from smooth surfaces. This guarantees efficient sweeping of PVC, wooden and tile flooring as it uses its full brush surface both ways. To make sure that even the smallest corners and narrow spaces are clean, we have improved the design of the Duactiva broom. The hardened bristles, which are now angled on the tip together with the slim broom head and the extendable, telescopic handle let you reach small angles, behind cupboards and under sofas.If you’re after a broom that has a smooth, comfy grip and can be stored away with ease, look no further than OXO Good Grips Upright Sweep Set. Plus, the foam can be removed and cleaned separately, so you don’t have to worry about it being dirty if you accidentally drag it through some liquid!

The sleek aluminium design on the handles ensures that the broom and dustpan are sturdy in build quality, and shouldn’t suffer too much damage if dropped. The broom comes as part of a lightweight set, so you get a telescopic broom that comes with a retractable handle and a wide edged dustpan. In fact, being light is a big selling point of indoor brushes. Nobody wants to go lugging a heavy broom around as they clean the house. The broom is 103 cm in height but it can be extended to 137 cm if you clip the extension piece on. However, the dustpan stays at 96 cm. Nonetheless, this should be ample height for you to brush around the home, without having to bend down to clean up the debris. The brush head in question doesn’t come with traditional soft bristles as you’d expect, the head is actually made out of rubber.The only major downside to this broom set is that you’ve got to slot the broom into the pan correctly when storing it. Otherwise, the bristles on the brush head can bend out of shape. The bristles are ever so slightly ridged too, and this helps the broom to gather up dirt that’s a tad more embedded into a surface. You get a great sweeping motion with this broom and it works exceptionally well on hard flooring, like tiles and laminate.
