Brooms

Commercial Push, Angle, Lobby & Corn Brooms

Rubbermaid Commercial Products® offers a complete range of commercial brooms built for the way facilities actually clean — from wide push brooms that clear large floors fast, to angle brooms that get into corners, to one-handed lobby brooms for quick touch-ups and rugged corn brooms for indoor/outdoor work. Choosing the right broom comes down to two things: the type of broom for the space you're cleaning, and the bristle type for the debris and surface you're cleaning.
This page covers all four broom types plus the handles that fit them, so a facility can match the right tool to every sweeping task.

Which Broom Type Do You Need?

Push Brooms move debris across large, open floors quickly, with a wide head that covers more ground per pass — the workhorse for warehouses, docks, gyms, and big retail floors.

Angle Brooms have angled, cut bristles that reach into corners, along edges, and under fixtures, making them ideal for detail sweeping and tight spaces.

Lobby Brooms are compact, one-handed brooms for fast touch-ups under tables and in high-traffic front-of-house areas, designed to pair with a lobby dustpan.

Corn Brooms use natural broom-corn fibers for economical, all-purpose pickup on even or rough surfaces, indoors or out.

Choosing the Right Bristles

Bristle type matters as much as broom type. Fine bristles (such as PVC fill) pick up fine dust and debris on smooth, polished, or sealed floors. Medium bristles (durable polypropylene) handle mixed debris on both smooth and rough surfaces. Heavy bristles tackle coarse debris and rough outdoor surfaces. Flagged bristles — split at the tips so they fan out — capture more fine particles per stroke, while natural corn fibers offer economical all-purpose pickup. Synthetic polypropylene bristles resist stains and odors, won't absorb water, and can be used wet or dry, making them a durable choice for demanding commercial environments.
