push brooms

Wide-headed sweepers

A push broom is a wide broom with stiff bristles set perpendicular to a long handle, designed to be pushed rather than swept in traditional strokes.

Push brooms are used for cleaning large floor areas—warehouses, garages, sidewalks—where a standard broom would be inefficient: He grabbed the push broom and cleared the workshop floor.
