Taketora – PALM BROOM (mini)
$30.00Taketora 棕櫚箒ミニ A mini broom made by bundling thin fibers called plucked hair from palm bark. Not only can it be used as a tabletop broom, but it is also a convenient broom that is perfect for cleaning small areas in your home, such as scraping dust from windows, sashes, shoji screens, and sliding doors. Since it is water resistant, it can also be used in the garden. The string part of the handle uses hemp palm rope woven from the same palm bark as the broom part. In addition, the palm bark, which is carefully wrapped with copper wire, gives a sense of beauty and robustness that can withstand decades of use. Since hemp palm is a water-resistant material, it can be washed with water Before using the palm broom Although the hemp fiber is dusted off at the finishing stage of the hemp broom, since it is a natural material, hemp palm dust will fall off at the beginning of use. When you receive it, first of all, please put it outside or on a newspaper. How to wash a palm broom Palm is a material that is resistant to water.
