A broom and a manufacturing method thereof, the broom comprising at least a broom handle (1) and a broom core; the bottom of the broom handle (1) is provided with a transverse plate (2); the broom core is fixed on the transverse plate (2), and comprises more than one bundle of brushes; the brushes are provided with dispersed slender resilient strips (9) thereon for cleaning the ground; the resilient strips (9) take up more than ½ the length of the brushes; the side surface of the resilient strips (9) is arc-shaped, and tapers from top to bottom; the bottom end of the resilient strips (9) is a thickened layer. The brushes of the broom are made by cutting waste beverage bottles, solving the problem of environmental pollution caused by the waste beverage bottles; the manufacturing method is simple, thus reducing the production cost; the bottom end of the resilient strips (9) is a thickened layer (7), thus significantly improving wear resistance and stability and greatly extending service life compared to a bamboo broom.

An illuminated utility handle is disclosed and is configured for coupling to various household work toss, such a broom, a mop, a paint brush/roller, a squeegee, or the like. The illuminated utility handle is formed as an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end has a coupling for securing the work tool to the illuminated utility handle and one or more lights disposed along the elongate shaft. The one or more lights are oriented to illuminate a work surface operated on by the attachment. A battery source may be carried in the handle and a power switch is operable to selectively activate the one or more lights. The battery source may be recharged by a charging port.

A multi-section quick assembly handle includes a multiple tubular members made of a permanently formable material having a threaded and friction fit connection.

Described herein is a rotary mop and a rotary structure of a mop handle of the rotary mop. The rotary structure comprises a rotary cylinder of which the inner wall is provided with spiral grooves and a lifting rod penetrating through the rotary cylinder, wherein the lifting rod is provided with a unidirectional rotary one-way bearing, bulges matched with the spiral grooves are apart arranged outside the one-way bearing, when the lifting rod is pressed downwards, the one-way bearing stops rotation, and the bulges and the spiral grooves are mutually matched to drive the rotary cylinder to rotate; and when the lifting rod is pulled upwards, the one-way bearing idly rotates along the spiral grooves. The bottom of the rotary cylinder is provided with a bottom plate for sealing the rotary cylinder, and lubricating oil or lubricating grease is provided in the rotary cylinder.

A cleaning article. The cleaning article has discrete tufts of tow fibers. The discrete tufts are unequally spaced from adjacent tufts, to provide improved collection and retention of debris from a target surface. The tufts may have a pitch, the pitch decreasing as the longitudinal axis of the cleaning article is approached. The cleaning article may be made by cutting out spaces between tufts from a precursor sheet and attaching the precursor sheet to a carrier sheet. Or the cleaning article may be made by cutting a precursor sheet having tufts into discrete portions. These discrete portions are bonded to a carrier sheet.
