Sweep Dreams Brooms

10-3-sweep.jpg
We're not sure how many people actually use brooms these days. But for those who do, a colorful broom from Sweep Dreams might actually make the task of sweeping a bit more fun.

Made in Thailand, the brooms are handwoven from 100% renewable sorghum and bamboo and dyed in eco-friendly non-toxic colors. Sweep Dreams also sells short brooms, whisks, and dustpans, all vibrantly colored.

 
 

And if you're looking for a housewarming gift, traditionally, a new broom brings good luck and harmony to a new home.

For sale online here and at 3R Living. We've also seen them in stores such as Maison d'Etre in Oakland's Rockridge.

Wait, there are people that DON'T use brooms these days? What are all the cool hipsters with hardwood floors using, then? I'm so behind!

That was my exact response! What is everyone else using, if not brooms? And why didn't someone tell me!

Hurray for classic cleaning tools! I figured everyone's using Swiffers and Dysons and those rubber brooms. Silly me.

High 5 for leslie!

I hate the trend of using Swiffers for sweeping and washing floors. There's nothing wrong with a good ol' broom or a mop and pail, despite what the advertising says.
