If you want this exact broom, you’ll need to visit Wilko in-store, but the branded version (which JML calls ‘WonderBroom’) is on Amazon for a few pounds more. As soon as I arrived back in London, I popped into Wilko for some supplies and was greeted at the end of the first aisle by my new cleaning compadre - the exact lime-green one I’d been using over the weekend. But my brother wanted to keep hold of it, which is probably the first tangible thing I can remember us fighting over. I had kindly planned to give my mum one less thing to travel home with and, well, steal the broom for myself. That might sound like I’ve gone a step too far with care and attention for a broom, but trust me, it’s made me realise the traditional soft-sweeping brush I had before is a hub for bacteria and dirt. What’s even better is, when switching between surfaces or from outdoor to indoor, you can simply pop it in the sink, give the brush head a quick scrub with some Fairy Liquid, and you’re good to go again. It’s perfect for outside too, especially if you have decking - the firm bristles cut neatly through the teeth in the wood and dig up any deep-lying dirt. What’s more, the broom’s got little shoulder pads in the form of anti-mark bumpers, so you can go hell for leather at dirtier areas without the worry of scuffing up walls or skirting boards. The lightweight and chunky-yet-comfy handle doesn’t leave your mitts in tatters if the task at hand is substantial, (as mine was). On a carpet, the versatility of the rubber bristles means it pulls up animal hairs or crumbs with ease. On a hard floor, the broom’s rubber bristles pluck hold of anything in their way and, unlike microfibre mops, you’re not left with the annoying task of shaking dust out of the fibres after you’re done. I spent most of the day mumbling ‘Huh! Amazing!’ to myself as I conquered pile of filth after pile of filth. Why would you bother bringing a broom up six hours in the car? A crack team of cleaners - my mum and dad - had made the journey up from Cornwall with what they considered to be essential cleaning materials: sprays, garden tools, a hoover and … a rubber-bristle broom. Lino floors caked in loose dog hair, suspicious smells, and even a stew left to fester in a slow cooker. A couple of months ago, I was helping my brother move into a new house in Margate.
