Build your go-to cleaning kit with Oates for every task, inside and out.
From grout lines to garden paths, there’s an Oates broom, brush or mop to have every corner covered. With almost 100 years of expertise in cleaning Aussie homes, Oates knows the value of having the right tool for each job with a range of brushes and brooms designed to meet every household task.
How to choose a broom or brush for outdoor cleaning jobs
Outdoor surfaces are exposed to all kinds of mess, from fallen leaves to built-up dirt and grime.
The Oates Supreme garden broom is designed to tackle it all, with dense, durable bristles that deliver powerful sweeping performance on concrete, pavers and decks.
When sweeping isn’t enough, the Oates long handle deck scrub brush helps lift built-up dirt and grime with stiff bristles and a handy built-in scraper. This is the tool you want for seriously dirty surfaces, or when you need an immaculate clean prior to refinishing decking or pavers.
What’s the best way to clean indoor floors?
Indoor flooring, especially delicate surfaces like timber and natural stone, deserves a softer approach.
The Oates Ultimate indoor broom features extra-long flagged bristles that gently capture dust and dirt.
Finish the job with the Oates Ezy Spray mop; designed for grab-and-go cleaning, it features a built-in spray bottle and machine-washable microfibre mop head, which delivers a sparkling finish and won’t saturate water-sensitive surfaces like timber and laminate.
What are the best tools for sweeping cobwebs and cleaning grout?
High corners, vents and ledges can be tricky to clean, often collecting dust and cobwebs over time. The Oates swivel domed cobweb broom scoops these away in seconds, with a 1.4m extension handle and a contoured head of soft bristles that shifts dirt from vents and cornices, inside and out.
Tiles can sparkle on the surface, but grout lines are often where dirt gets left behind. The Oates long handle grout brush picks up the slack, with short chiselled bristles and a swivelling head for easy cleaning of grubby grout lines.
