I use one of those long-handled brushes with a long-handled pan in the other hand, does that count as a broom? If so, one-handed (as each one is in a hand
).A big broom, two-handed. |

(I mean for the purpose intended) I've done it, but mostly when I was a child. Hold the broom by the very end and walk around, trailing it behind me. Now I'd be exerting no downward pressure whatsoever, but it would still sort of work. Or if you held it a low enough angle you could lightly push it across the floor or path with one hand. You could do the same with a mop, but of course two-handed would be the best way for both. |

I don't, we have a cleaner that comes into the office and I think she just uses her hoover on all floors then mops the kitchen.

I had a bloody dream about a brush last night
![]() OK you can use a brush one handed if you are being paid to sweep up and you don't care about doing a good job. From the dream you cannot use a besom one handed |

I use one two handed, but my wife manages with no hands when she's flying on it.
