The spider broom - ingeniously simple.
With the spider broom and a suitable (sometimes very long) handle, farmers could remove cobwebs from stables, houses and barns - not only for reasons of cleanliness, but above all because cobwebs on thatched roofs were a constant fire risk. The spider broom was therefore used to protect buildings and was a very welcome and constantly needed tool.
The spider broom - a modern classic
The spider broom is no different to the spider sweeper - although it tends to be used indoors and in hard-to-reach corners, edges and angles. The tuft of bristles completely picks up the swept dust and cobwebs, can be easily combed or shaken out and is always at the ready. It is also a perfect helper for window cleaning and all other hard-to-reach ‘cleaning tasks’.
Carpets are knocked out!
There is no easier and more effective way to clean carpets: Every house used to have a carpet pole outside (which was often also a gymnastics pole for the children). A few times a year, all the carpets were taken outside and thoroughly beaten, which removed much more dust, mites and other particles than the quick ‘vacuuming’ of today. The carpets were aired out, dried and cleaned at the same time. And it was fun too. Have you tried it yet?
What's behind my cupboard?
The cupboard broom, as Friedel Redecker made it 80 years ago, is an ingenious idea: the narrow gap to the wall, in which all kinds of dust, dirt and, in case of doubt, spider creatures nest, can be brushed free with a flick of the wrist. With the extension, you can also reach places where nobody has wanted to reach for a long time. Anyone who has the cupboard broom will use it again and again for many different purposes - that's a promise!
