We wanted to find options that would help eliminate any discomfort associated with sweeping—from shuffling backward while crouching to getting dust in your face and hit in the forehead with a handle.
With its pliable bristles and superior balance, this broom swept better than competitors, and it was the most comfortable to use. Bulkier and a bit less flexible than some other options, this broom is a tough and efficient sweeper. This dustpan has a grime-catching black lip and a large trash capacity.
This set handled all of the visible matter on our floor. This microfiber mop has an almost magnetic attraction to dust. This broom is light and inexpensive, and it arrives in one piece. It even has a squeegee that can scrub away stubborn messes. But most lobby brooms have fairly short handles. So people of different heights should find it comfortable to use, and it outperformed all of the other lobby brooms we tested. If all you want is an inexpensive full-size broom-and-dustpan set, get the HDX 15 in.
Extra Wide Angle Broom with Dustpan , which passed our sweep tests. The broom clicks securely into the dustpan, and a thin, flexible loop lets you store this nicely priced set on a hook. Even if you have a great broom, a good dust mop will help finish the job, and the Bona Premium Microfiber Mop is the best we tested.
Its large head covers wide swaths of floor, and flexible ends easily glide into corners and curve up against baseboards. The Bona mop comes with two different, washable microfiber pads: a fluffy option for use on hardwood floors and one with more-traditional microfiber for cleaning stone and tile.
