One of the many questions that I am asked, at the Corporate Showroom is, "Why do I keep having to buy new brooms all the time?"

What many people do, and it's quite normal, is to set the broom against a wall when finished using it.  Resting the broom (and mops too, for that matter) upon their head, is where the spending trailing begins.  You see, when you store a broom in that manner, all of the weight of the broom and handle place pressure on the fibers at the head.  After time, you'll begin to notice that the bristles begin to bend to one side, and with extended storage in this way, they will curve that way permanently, rendering the tool useless.

A very simple tool made to deal with this problem is the Gripit, made by Geerpres.  The Gripit is a patented holder that not only provides convenient wall storage for brooms and mops, but for tools as well.  The standard Gripit is designed to hold any item with a handle up to 1-3/16".  The Expando Gripit accepts heavier tools such as vacuum wands, hoses, and shovels with handles up to 2" in diameter.

The relatively inexpensive purchase of a Gripit is offset by replacing your expensive tools less often.  It also frees up floor space in those crowded cleaning closets.  Now that you won't be asking "Why am I replacing brooms so often?", how else might I be able to assist you?
