  • Handle Separate: Remember to order the compatible Clipex handle (DN819) as it's not included.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Slice Bakery in Bristol needed to upgrade their cleaning tools after an internal audit highlighted the risk of cross-contamination from their old, un-coded brooms. They needed a simple, effective solution that the whole team could adopt easily.

"We switched to the Jantex green brooms for our main bakery floor. They're sturdy, easy to clean, and  the soft bristles get all the flour dust without kicking it up everywhere. A simple, effective fix that keeps us compliant and  the space clean."

David Chen – Head Baker

The switch resulted in a 15% reduction in daily cleaning time and  completely eliminated cross-contamination risks between their prep and  packing areas.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack the broom head from its packaging.
  • Ensure you have the compatible Jantex Clipex Handle (product code: DN819).
  • Align the clip on the handle with the socket on the broom head.
  • Push the handle in firmly until you hear a solid 'click', ensuring a secure connection.

Keeping It Going

  • After use, tap the broom head gently to remove any loose, dry debris.
  • Wash the head regularly in hot water (up to 100°C) with a suitable detergent or sanitiser.
  • Always hang the broom to dry using the handle's hanging hole to maintain bristle shape and  hygiene.
  • Periodically check that the connection to the handle remains tight and  secure.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Broom

Not sure which broom is right for your floors? Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Bristle Type & Stiffness

Soft bristles, like on this model, are for fine dust and  smooth floors. For heavy-duty debris or rough outdoor surfaces, you’ll need a broom with stiff, coarse bristles.

Colour-Coding

This is essential for food safety. Plan your system: assign a colour to each zone (e.g., green for kitchen, blue for bar, red for toilets) to prevent cross-contamination.

Head Width

A wide 18-inch head like this soft bristle hygiene broom 18in covers large areas faster. For smaller, more confined spaces like store rooms, a narrower head might be more nimble.

Broom Material

Polypropylene heads are the industry standard for a reason. They're hygienic, non-porous, durable, and  easy to sanitise, making them perfect for any commercial kitchen.

Handle System

Always check for compatibility. A secure, locking handle like the Jantex Clipex system prevents the head from spinning or falling off mid-sweep, which is both annoying and  unhygienic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the handle included with this broom head?

A: No, the compatible Jantex Clipex Handle (DN819) is designed to fit this head and  is sold separately.

Q: What are soft bristles best for?

A: They are ideal for sweeping fine particles like dust, flour, and  sugar from smooth indoor surfaces such as vinyl, tile, or sealed concrete floors.

Q: Will this commercial sweeping brush green scratch my floor?

A: No, the soft bristles are specifically designed to be non-abrasive and  are safe for most commercial flooring, including more delicate surfaces.

Q: Why is a green broom important for a kitchen?

A: Green is the industry-standard colour for equipment used in food preparation and  service areas. It helps prevent a broom used elsewhere from contaminating the kitchen.

Q: How do I clean and  sanitise this broom head?

A: You can wash it with standard detergents and  sanitisers in water up to 100°C. Afterwards, it should be hung up to air dry completely.

Q: What is the broom head made from?

A: The main body (stock) is made from durable, hygienic polypropylene and  the bristles are made from hard-wearing polyester.

Q: How wide is the actual sweeping path?

A: The head is 457mm, or 18 inches wide, providing excellent coverage for quickly sweeping large, open floor areas.

Q: Is this Jantex GK874 hygiene broom suitable for outdoor use?

A: It's primarily designed for indoor use. The soft bristles are not as effective on rough outdoor surfaces like concrete or tarmac, where a stiff-bristled broom would be better.

What Customers Are Saying

A brilliant commercial sweeping brush green. It does exactly what you need it to, and  the fact it's washable is a huge plus for our hygiene routine.

Mark L. – Catering Manager, Manchester

Good, solid broom head. You have to buy the handle separately which is a bit of a faff, but the quality of the Jantex GK874 hygiene broom itself is great.

Sarah W. – School Canteen Supervisor, Leeds

We use these across all our sites. The colour coding system is a lifesaver for our HACCP procedures. Can't fault this green food safe sweeping brush.

Tom P. – Operations Director, National Coffee Chain

Beyond Clean: How Colour-Coding Prevents Cross-Contamination

Ever wondered why professional cleaning gear comes in so many bright colours? It’s not about style; it’s about safety. Think of colour-coding like traffic lights for your cleaning routine. This green broom is designated for a specific 'go' zone, such as your main kitchen floor where food is prepared. A different colour, say red, would be used only for toilets or front-of-house floors. By never mixing them up, you physically prevent bacteria from a high-risk area from ever being spread to a food-safe one. It’s a brilliantly simple visual system that takes the guesswork out of hygiene, protecting your customers, your staff, and  your reputation with every sweep.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurant & Cafe Kitchens: Perfect for keeping food prep and  service areas spotless and  free from cross-contamination.
  • Bakeries & Delis: The soft bristles are ideal for sweeping up fine flour and  crumbs without scratching floors.
  • Schools & Care Homes: An essential tool for maintaining high hygiene standards in canteens and  communal dining areas.
  • Food Processing Units: A vital part of any colour-coded cleaning plan in sensitive production environments.
