The Long Handled Dustpan & Brush set from Iris Hantverk is as stylish as it is practical. The brush is handmade with bristles of horse hair which help effectively sweep up anything that lingers on your floors from crumbs to gravel. The wooden parts are made of beech wood and have been treated with linseed oil, whilst the shovel is made of plastic. When cleaning the brush it is best to remove the dust from the brush with your hand or to use an old hairbrush. If the bristles have lost their shape you can wet them in lukewarm water and reshape them whilst damp. Hang the brush to dry and clean the shovel with a damp cloth. Read Less
