# Double-Duty Brooms The Flipside Mop Streamlines Cleaning with a Multitasking Design By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-04-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipside-mop-broom References: [quirky](http://www.quirky.com/products/163-Flipside-mop-broom) A common cleaning practice is to first [sweep the floor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justhang-squeegee), and then to wipe it clean. The [Flipside](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipside-modular-bench) Mop + Broom makes the transition from one chore to the next a great deal more efficient because it incorporates the tools to carry out both of these actions in its clever design. The Quirky-made product has a full set of bristles at the base of its large hinged head, allowing you to brush dust bunnies and miscellaneous scraps into a dustpan. With a long handle shaft, this can be done comfortably while standing. Once all of the loose stuff has been swept away with the sweeping side, bend the Flipside Mop + Broom over and make use of the [detachable microfiber cloth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-mops). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Multitasking Cleaning Tools:** The trend of producing cleaning tools that can perform multiple actions to make the task more efficient. - **Innovative Broom Designs:** The trend of creating brooms with unique features that simplify cleaning. - **Sustainable Cleaning Solutions:** The trend of introducing eco-friendly cleaning tools to reduce the environmental impact. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Cleaning Products Industry:** Opportunity for companies producing home cleaning products to invest in developing and marketing innovative and sustainable cleaning tools. - **Commercial Cleaning Service Industry:** Opportunity for companies offering commercial cleaning services to adopt and use multitasking cleaning tools to increase efficiency and reduce labor costs. - **Household Appliance Industry:** Opportunity for the household appliance industry to create smart, automated cleaning tools that can perform multiple actions to make cleaning tasks easier and more efficient. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cordless Floor Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bsty-dualaction-cordless.md) - [Mop-Changing Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mova-mobius-60.md) - [Agile Mopping Stick Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roborock-flexi-lite.md) - [Versatile Kitchen Multi-Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-multitools.md) - [Hyper-Slim Powered Floor Mops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-oneup-electric-mop.md) - [Self-Cleaning Robot Mops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ozmo-roller-mop.md) - [Playful Modular Mops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wet-mop.md) - [Humorous Quick Cleanup Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flip-desk-concept.md) - [All-in-One Floor Cleaning Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eufy-mach-v1.md)
