Squeegee-Topped Brooms

The 'Wallybroom' Broom and Dustpans Work on Dry or Wet Messes

— May 18, 2017 — Art & Design
Ideal for dry or wet messes, the 'Wallybroom' broom and dustpans are an exceptional set of equipment to keep in the kitchen for times when messes get created on the floor. Featuring a broom on one side and a squeegee on the other, the 'Wallybroom' enables users to sweep the mess into the accompanying dustpan in a matter of moments. This makes it ideal for sweeping up crumbs, but also for yogurts, spilt cereal, dropped eggs and several other messes that simply aren't able to be cleaned up with traditional brooms and dustpans.

The 'Wallybroom' set is capable of being cleaned with water after you've scooped up the mess and keeps the handle magnetically attached to the dustpan to ensure they're always kept together.
Trend Themes
1. Multi-functional Cleaning Equipment - The trend of combining different functions into one cleaning tool is disrupting the traditional cleaning industry and creating opportunities for new product design and innovation.
2. Eco-friendly Cleaning Products - The trend towards sustainable and non-toxic cleaning products that can be easily cleaned and reused is disrupting the cleaning industry and creating opportunities for new market entrants and innovative business models.
3. Smart Cleaning Technology - The trend towards IoT-enabled cleaning products that can be remotely controlled and optimized for efficiency is disrupting the cleaning industry and creating opportunities for new data-driven business models.
Industry Implications
1. Cleaning Equipment Industry - The Wallybroom is disrupting the traditional market for brooms and dustpans and creating opportunities for the development of new multi-purpose cleaning tools.
2. Sustainable Product Industry - The Wallybroom is catering to the growing demand for eco-friendly cleaning products and creating opportunities for companies to develop more sustainable cleaning solutions.
3. Smart Home Technology Industry - The Wallybroom is an example of the convergence of traditional household products with smart home technology and creating opportunities for companies to develop IoT-enabled cleaning solutions.
