Manufactum goatshair dusting broom

This is a household broom with the old-fashioned ‘Zeppelin’ shape, a head so slim that it can brush out the tightest of corners. The fine, dense goatshair bristle is able to gather an enormous amount of dust, making it especially suitable for dry-brushing wooden, tiled or linoleum floors – where it can do a better job than a vacuum-cleaner. With brass-plated thread to fit our screw-on handles.

Don’t just sit and complain – do something about it! We all know that brushing out the house is a bit of a chore – and that brush- and broom-making aren’t exactly exciting sectors – so we decided to liven things up with the range of household brooms and brushes you see here…

The craft of brush-making has evolved over the centuries. With great skill, tools were developed to deal with differentiated tasks and materials. Nowadays, out of the blue, it seems there is next to nothing left of all this. We are trying to halt the loss a little by offering you a range of proper brushes and brooms for all types of work in and around your house. Each filling – you will come across quite several familiar natural materials – has been carefully chosen, since filling materials of brushes and brooms have to meet very different challenges. Depending on whether they are designed to scrub, brush, sweep, polish or paint, there is a suitable plant and animal filling. However, finding one of these specialized tools for household use has become a sheer impossible task.

We consider it our job to provide remedy. With our brush makers (a not-so-booming industry), we've developed some household brooms and brushes with that cheerful motto in mind. From the shape of the brush body to the choice of wood and the bristle materials, from techniques how to fasten them to the choice of materials and forms for grommets – the key question was: What has to be done to improve brooms and brushes? See what we came up with.
