About Us
Why the Scrape & Sweep was invented
The Scrape & Sweep broom handle attachment was invented out of necessity, as the need for the device was discovered when my daughter was an infant and learning to feed herself apple sauce and crisped rice cereal, using a spoon. Often, she would drop these foods on the kitchen floor, and sometimes these incidents would go unnoticed until after the food had dried. I would then find myself kneeling on the floor, scraping off dried-up applesauce and crisped rice cereal with a butter knife, so I could sweep the mess into a dust pan and then mop the floor. You have probably experienced something like this yourself. Trying to remove dried-up food by scrubbing it off with a soapy rag, sponge, or mop, often requires a lot of time and effort – and sometimes, the food is not able to be scrubbed off, it can only be scraped off, isn’t that right? One winter morning, I tried using a plastic ice scraper and discovered this was much better than using a metal knife, because I could use the plastic blade to scrape off any dried-up food I found on my kitchen table, stove, and counter top also, without scratching those surfaces – like the butter knife did! Eventually, I decided to tape the ice scraper to the end of my broom handle, so I would not have to kneel down on the kitchen floor; but then, it was difficult to use the scraper elsewhere. After giving it some thought, I came up with a way to shape a piece of PVC pipe into a tubular handle that I could attach to the ice scraper with screws to form a single unit. This device could then be slid on to the broom handle to clean floors, and then slid off to clean other surfaces.
Why you should own a Scrape & Sweep
If you have ever had to clean up after children (or adults) who have spent a day creating arts and crafts using glue, stickers, and tape, then you will definitely appreciate the handy design of the Scrape & Sweep and its effectiveness as a cleaning tool!
You agree that it can be quite difficult to remove dried glue, stickers, and tape from tables, floors, and windows, right? If you have ever had to get down on your hands and knees to scrape something off of your hard kitchen floor, then you know it can be a real pain.
Wouldn't you also agree, that it takes quite a bit of time and effort to scrub dried foods and sauces from your stove top, counter tops, tables and floors, when using a soapy rag, sponge, or mop?
Have you ever used a broom to sweep snow off of your vehicle, but then couldn't find your ice scraper to get the ice off of your windows?
Have you ever tried to climb a step ladder to scrape bird droppings off of a window on your home?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, then you need a Scrape & Sweep!
The unique shape and features of the tubular body of the Scrape & Sweep cause it to remain firmly in place when attached to a broom (or mop) handle and used as a long-handled scraper. These same features also allow the device to be quickly and easily removed from the handle, so the Scrape & Sweep can be used as a handheld tool to clean areas where a long handle gets in the way or is ineffective.
