Regarding 360° Clean Multi Angle Cleaning Broom
360 Clean is a multi angle broom designed for household cleaning. A common broom has a limited working angle, so 360 Clean carries bristles arranged around the head in all directions. The hardness of the bristles is controlled according to their length, so the broom suits a wider range of cleaning situations. The form draws on traditional Chinese cleaning tools. The broom is made of PET, ABS and aluminum alloy, using injection molding and extrusion molding. The broom measures 300 by 80 by 950 millimeters and is used in the same way as an ordinary broom.
