Abstract: A sweeping device such as a head for a broom. The device has a first portion (22), including a socket (18) formed as an integral moulding of a relative hard polymeric material. A bristle portion (24) formed from a relatively soft polymeric material is molded to partially envelop the first portion and to engage positively with a groove (32) and undercut (34) formed in the first portion in order to attach the bristle portion to the first portion. The bristle portion is formed with a plurality of integral bristles (20) some of which may have a different cross section from that of the remainder of the bristles.
