Maintenance Brushes
Osborn now offers a complete line of top grade janitorial products to fill every industrial janitorial need. Our cleaning tools are designed for fast, efficient and thorough cleaning, scrubbing, and washing jobs.
Floor Brooms
 Brush blocks are kiln-dried, top quality hardwood, coated with a clear moisture-resistance sealer for long life and resistance to oil and chemicals.
Fill materials are carefully selected grades of horsehair, natural fibers, synthetics and wire, as well as a wide range of mixtures. Fill materials are what makes the difference with Osborn maintenance brushes. Osborn brushes are heavily filled with carefully selected high-grade natural and synthetic fill material, which means our brushes perform better in cleaning, scrubbing and sweeping. Note: To reduce “setting” of bristles, store floor brushes with no weight against the fill material. This will prolong brush life and help preserve effectiveness. Periodically repositioning the handle to the opposite side of the block will also increase brush life and improve efficiency. |

Microfiber Mop System
Tiny microfibers penetrate microscopic surfaces pores of most floors/walls. Hooks along each fiber act as tiny brushes scraping up dirt, dust, and other soils. The microfiber has a positive charge, which attracts negatively charged dirt particles. Once dust is attracted, it is trapped and held in the mop so as not to redistribute particles around the room. A microfiber pad holds up to six times its weight in water and is also launderable/reusable.
