Side Broom - TK464/TK664 (Item #SPPV00303)
Key Benefits
The Side Broom for TK464 and TK664 sweepers is a reliable and durable accessory designed to enhance cleaning efficiency. Its strong, heavy-duty bristles are engineered to effectively sweep dust, dirt, leaves, and debris from edges, corners, and hard-to-reach areas that main brushes may miss. By improving reach and coverage, this side broom minimizes the need for manual sweeping, saving time and ensuring a more thorough cleaning process. Whether tackling small debris on indoor floors or larger particles on outdoor surfaces, this side broom consistently delivers high-performance results.
Why It Matters
While the main broom on a sweeper handles most of the workload, it often struggles with cleaning edges, curbs, and tight spaces. That’s where the side broom becomes indispensable. By extending the cleaning path and reaching into corners, it ensures that no debris is left behind. This not only boosts cleaning efficiency but also reduces the amount of manual labor needed for finishing touches. In high-traffic environments like warehouses, parking lots, and industrial areas, the side broom plays a vital role in maintaining a polished and professional appearance.
