Broom
A
broom is a
cleaning tool consisting of usually stiff fibers (often made of materials such as plastic, hair, or corn husks) attached to, and roughly parallel to, a
cylindrical handle, the
broomstick. It is thus a variety of
brush with a long handle. It is commonly used in combination with a
dustpan.
