Rubber Brooms - How have I only just discovered these?

I am going to buy a rubber broom today! Never knew about them so thx. I live with an adult son with long hair, a cat with lots of fur and I am losing my hair with stress - I have hair everywhere which causes me much work. So yeah I need this broom.....?

I bought my rubber broom from Wilko, it also has a scraper on the other side. Brilliant!

I saw some in Home Bargains last week. Wish I'd bought one now!

I'm on the case! Thanks everybody.

Brilliant tip just what I have been looking for, I am constantly blocking the roller on my Dyson. Just ordered one My Christmas present to myself. LOL

Thanks for this great tip
But if it works I lose one of my excuses for not getting another dog ...

What good ideas around rubber brooms. Initial sweep with a rubber broom can let you clean a carpet with a small light vacuum cleaner instead of investing in an expensive heavy to handle one.

We have the broom and the brush.

Thanks so much for sharing! I have long blonde/grey hair that falls out too much and will be buying one of these!!

Mu new one arrived yesterday! I was already a convert but only had a handbrush, so this will be easier!!

Sounds brilliant. Would have been useful when I had my dogs as I was forever hoovering!

I've got a DH who sheds white hair wherever he goes - must get one.

jaylucy an extension lead is your friend, and cheaper than another vacuum. I got a wind up one from Tesco for about £6.

They are great for getting pet hairs up too especialy ones you can`t see.

Never heard of them, but thank you ladies,I must look around and see if there are some of these in this country.

Where can I buy these products please?
Preferably from a shop.

Wilkinson’s website don’t seem to stock rubber brooms.
Any more ideas where to buy one. Anyone?

SO wish I could get up some enthusiasm for a broom. Can't.

One of the last places I saw them was at a garden centre Greciangirl. One of those that have nearly everything except plants lol, lots of furniture and tools etc.

I had one some years ago when I had a hairy black dog and a pale blue carpet. Obviously the two were not an ideal match but the broom was amazing

Greciangirl I got mine from Amazon. Loads of places sell them - B&M, Lakeland, Home Bargains to name a few.

Moonlight113. This is the most exciting thing that’s happened in my life for months. Sad, isn’t it? I’m glad it seems to have helped others too

I had never heard of rubber brushes until I was watching Filthy House SOS last Wednesday (Ch 5, 8pm, either 2 Dec or more likely 25 Nov) and the cleaning guy showed the lady how quick and easy it was to clean the stairs with one of these brushes. Now I have read all your rave reviews I will definitely be searching B&M or Home Bargains to find one - or I could ask Santa ?. Thanks for your helpful comments.

Is it a sign of the times we are all enthusing over rubber brooms or are we just saddos?

I can’t stop myself, as soon as something is discussed on here, off I go to order one! Thing is, do I want a telescopic handle or a solid one? Also do I want a tall broom or a hand held as we are in a bungalow?
