Now that plenty of us have hard floors, it’s amazing how much dust and fluff can accumulate on the surface, and you don’t notice it until it starts forming little clusters. To nip fluff build-up in the bud, you need a soft broom or floor duster . They are kind to polished and laminate surfaces, shifting the dust without scratching the sheen – just what you need. If you’re looking for a cheap and cheerful basic dustpan and brush, we have plenty to choose from . It’s the style that has helped clean up many a broken bottle or overturned bowl of cornflakes and does its job well – as long as you don’t mind getting on your hands and knees. There are other designs to choose from, too, for example the OXO Saffron Compact that you can store away almost anywhere when it’s not in use, thanks to its minimalist design.
