The foam broom has - in contrast to conventional broom - the advantage that no dust is stirred up and even the smallest crumbs have no chance to escape the foam elements. But it only makes sense to very smooth surfaces, such as tile or hardwood. As soon as the ground is uneven it lacks the foam parts of flexibility in order to adapt to the unevenness. Even rougher ground attacks the foam. Is the floor but smooth, then the show fabric broom shows its strength. He is very thorough, easy to clean and also well suited to get through his relatively small head in corners or under cabinets. The model of Leifheit offers impeccable workmanship and a well thought out design. I'm curious to see how long the foam pieces and when they must be replaced.
