Broom Stick Processing

A broom is a cleaning tool consisting of stiff fibres attached to, and roughly parallel to, a cylindrical handle, the broomstick.

Brooms have been used for centuries to sweep up, in, and around the home and workplace. They may be made from a variety of materials, both man-made and natural.

Some brooms are made from vegetable fibers such as palmyra stalks, rice straw, piassava (West Africa), "rice root", and even grass, sedge, and twigs in certain parts of the world.
