Abstract: Briefly stated, a broom is provided that can be used to move, sweep, clean dirt, debris, water, or other matter. The broom comprises a head, a connector mounted to the head and a handle having one end mated to the connector and extending away from the head. The head comprises a rigid frame and a bristle package which is removably secured to or received in the frame. The frame thus provides structure and rigidity to the bristle package. The bristle package can have a length greater than, generally equal to, or shorter than a length of the frame.
