How do I clean the ends of a plastic broom?
+1
I have three brooms that I use in the kitchen, in the garage and outside. They all get dirty and full of gunk. I've tried boiling, soapy water, brake parts cleaner, engine degreaser, etc. I have different levels of success. I know they are not that expensive but it is still a good broom except for the 1 - 2 inches which are dirty. Any suggestions?

Cut them down to good part
Put them in a bucket of warm soapy water. Dawn dish soap would be best to use. Let them soak for a half hour or so. Then take them out of the water and scrub with a hard bristle brush. Rinse with clean water.
When mine get all nasty I use shallow pan put broom in it fill it with only Dawn dish soap up to dirty part let sit in it over night then pound it into the pavement awhile then rinse with hot water.Prop it up to dry before using again. could try a little bleach too
You've gotten some good suggestions here. I'd also suggest keeping one "nice" broom for non-gunky cleanup projects. That way, you always have one broom that you can use that you know will be clean.
