Product Description

Oates Platform Hair & Fibre Blend Broom 350mm (Head Only) – Commercial Broom

Tackle the most demanding, fine-dust sweeping challenges in your facility with the highly specialized Oates Platform Hair & Fibre Blend Broom (350mm). Sweeping ultra-fine particulate matter like sawdust, concrete dust, or dry flour with a standard stiff outdoor broom usually results in a massive, choking dust cloud. This premium industrial sweeping broom completely solves that problem. It is meticulously crafted using a highly engineered blend of natural hair and synthetic fibres. This unique combination provides the perfect medium-stiff rigidity required to effectively collect both small and medium-sized debris, while actively trapping and minimizing airborne dust during the sweeping process.

Durability and ergonomic efficiency are the hallmarks of Oates Australia. Featuring a robust 350mm (35cm) wide wooden platform, this commercial indoor broom covers a significant amount of floor space with every stroke, drastically reducing labor time in large workshops and industrial sites. The solid timber block is designed to securely accept standard commercial handles, providing a heavy-duty, wobble-free sweeping experience. Whether you are maintaining a busy mechanical garage or sweeping down outdoor pavers, this soft bristle sweeping brush delivers professional, dust-free results.

*Please Note: This listing is for the 350mm Broom Head ONLY. The required handle is sold separately.

Who Is This Blend Broom Ideal For?

The Oates Hair & Fibre Blend Broom minimizes airborne dust while sweeping. It is highly recommended for:

Carpenters & Cabinet Makers: Utilizing the natural hair blend to easily sweep massive volumes of ultra-fine sawdust off smooth workshop floors without kicking it into the air.
Mechanical Garages & Industrial Sites: Using a heavy-duty industrial sweeping broom to push small metal shavings, dirt, and dust out of expansive concrete workshops rapidly.
Commercial Bakeries & Kitchens: Employing a soft bristle sweeping brush to efficiently gather fine, powdery spills like flour and sugar off tiled floors without creating a mess.
Landscapers & Homeowners: Sweeping fine sand and dirt off smooth outdoor pavers, patios, and residential driveways for a flawlessly clean finish.

Key Features and Performance Benefits:

Specialized Hair & Fibre Blend: Combines the stiffness of synthetic fibres (to move heavier debris) with the softness of natural hair (to trap microscopic dust), preventing it from becoming airborne.
Medium-Stiff Sweeping Action: Provides the perfect balance of flexibility and strength, allowing the broom to effectively collect both fine dust and medium-sized gravel in a single pass.
Generous 350mm Width: The 35cm wide wooden block covers a highly efficient sweeping path, making fast work of large indoor warehouse spaces and outdoor patios.
Heavy-Duty Timber Platform: The bristles are securely set into a thick, solid wood block that easily withstands the heavy physical impacts of commercial, daily use without cracking.
Improves Air Quality: By keeping the dust firmly on the floor rather than flicking it into the air, it significantly improves the breathing environment for workshop staff.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of blending natural hair and synthetic fibre?

Synthetic fibres are stiff and durable, great for moving larger dirt like gravel and wood chips. Natural hair is incredibly soft and dense. When blended together, the synthetic fibres push the heavy dirt, while the natural hair traps the ultra-fine dust, completely preventing it from floating up into the air.

Does this listing include the broom handle?

No. This listing is explicitly for the 350mm wooden Broom Head ONLY. You will need to purchase a compatible wooden or metal Oates broom handle separately.

Is this broom suitable for rough, exposed aggregate concrete?

It is not recommended. The natural hair in this blend is quite delicate. Sweeping highly abrasive, rough concrete will quickly shred and destroy the natural hair bristles. It is designed for smooth concrete, pavers, and indoor floors.

Will this broom scratch my polished floorboards?

No, the hair and fibre blend is considered 'Medium Stiff', but the natural hair component makes it gentle enough to safely sweep smooth, delicate surfaces like polished timber and vinyl without causing scratches.

How do I attach a handle to this broom head?

The wooden platform features a pre-drilled hole. You typically insert a standard 25mm wooden or metal handle into the hole and secure it tightly using a nail or screw through the side of the block.

Can I use this broom to scrub the floor with water and soap?

No. You should never use a natural hair broom for wet scrubbing. Soaking natural hair in harsh detergents and water will cause the bristles to rot, clump together, and fall out. It is strictly a dry sweeping broom.

How wide is 350mm?

350mm is 35 centimeters (roughly 14 inches). It is a highly versatile mid-size broom, wide enough to clean a workshop quickly, but small enough to maneuver between machinery and workbenches.

Why is my broom leaving a trail of dust behind it?

If it is leaving dust, the bristles are likely clogged with hair and lint, preventing them from touching the floor properly. You should take the broom outside and vigorously run a stiff comb or your fingers through the bristles to clear the blockage.

Can I use this to sweep up metal shavings?

Yes, it is excellent for mechanical and engineering workshops. The stiff synthetic fibers easily push the heavy metal shavings, while the natural hair catches the accompanying fine metal dust.

Do you offer trade carton pricing for industrial facilities?

Yes, Freshway Supplies provides highly competitive bulk carton pricing (typically cartons of 4) and trade accounts for industrial workshops, commercial cleaners, and hardware retailers. Contact us for a quote.

They earned it! I hardly ever leave reviews, but Abe absolutely deserves this one.

I rang ready to spend nearly $2,000. Unfortunately, the item wasn’t in stock for pickup and would take seven days to arrive. Abe said he’d call me back.

Five minutes later, he had found one in stock at another business in Parramatta — and negotiated the same discount for me there.
He had just lost the sale, yet he was genuinely happy he could help. That says everything.

This is how an excellent reputation is earned: day by day, customer by customer. Could not possibly ask for more.

Thank you, Abe — AWESOME service!
