NentMent 2 Pack Broom Cleaning Tool Hair Removal Comb Cleaner for One Sweep Broom Commercial Dust Mop Floor Sweeper Stand Up Broom Upright Dustpan Combo Set Removing Hair Dust on Brooms

Why I added a broom comb to my cleaning kit

My sweeping routine has a predictable snag: after a few passes, the broom bristles turn into a lint roller for hair and fine dust. I used to pull clumps out by hand or bang the broom on the porch rail—neither effective nor pleasant. The NentMent broom comb is a simple plastic scraper/comb that promised a cleaner broom without the mess on my fingers. After a few weeks of use around a pet-filled, high-traffic home, it’s become one of those small, unassuming tools that earns its spot on the hook.

What it is and how it’s built

The comb comes as a two-pack, each roughly 17 × 16.8 cm. It’s molded from PP plastic, with a solid-feeling handle, a reinforced back, and a hanging hole. There’s no moving part to fail, and the design is intentionally basic: a grippy handle attached to a comb-like edge that you draw through broom bristles or across mop fibers.

In hand, the comb is lightweight but not flimsy. The reinforced back makes the tool resist flex when I apply pressure, which matters when I’m scraping out packed hair. The finish is smooth, edges are clean, and the hanging hole is comfortably sized for standard hooks or pegboard pegs. The blue color makes it easy to spot among darker cleaning tools.

Ergonomics and ease of use

There’s no learning curve. I hold the broom head with one hand and, with the other, start at the bristle base and pull the comb toward the tips. A steady, moderate pull is enough to gather hair into a clump at the end of the stroke. The handle is comfortable, with enough room for a full grip even with gloves on. I appreciated that I could keep my hand well away from the debris—no accidental brushes with dust bunnies.

The comb’s size is a sweet spot: compact enough to hang inside a broom closet but broad enough to clear a full swath of bristles in one pass on a standard household broom. On wider push brooms, I do two or three passes, but the extra strokes aren’t a burden.

Performance on hair, dust, and debris

Hair is where this tool earns its keep. On an angled synthetic broom that usually turns into a hair magnet, the comb pulls long strands and pet undercoat out quickly. Two or three passes removes the bulk; a final light sweep picks up fine dust stuck near the bristle tips. On stubborn tangles—especially hair that’s wrapped in a spiral around the bristle clusters—I angle the comb slightly and use shorter strokes. It’s faster and cleaner than plucking by hand.

For fine dust, the comb knocks loose the powder that compacts near the bristle base. That helps the broom sweep more freely again. I noticed less drag on the broom after using the comb, which translates into fewer resweeps to collect missed debris.

With microfiber dust mops, the comb works, but I’m gentle. It’s effective at pulling off lint and loose hair, though I avoid aggressive scraping that could snag loops. A light pass at a shallow angle is enough to lift hair without fraying fibers. On a commercial-style dust mop, I clean along the fringe direction rather than across it—again, to avoid catches.

Compatibility notes

• Angled household broom (synthetic): Excellent. Full-width passes clear debris in seconds.
• Push broom (medium-density bristles): Good. Requires multiple passes due to width, but hair removal is thorough.
• Natural bristle broom: Good with care. It removes hair effectively, but I avoid heavy pressure to prevent bristle splay.
• Rubber broom: Fair. It removes surface hair, but rubber tends not to bind hair as tightly; a simple rinse sometimes works better.
• Microfiber dust mop: Good with a light touch. Ideal for hair and lint; use shallow angle to prevent snagging.
• Wet mop heads: Limited. Hair is heavier and sticks; the comb can help, but rinsing under water remains better for wet debris.

Durability and maintenance

PP plastic is a sensible choice here. After repeated use, including a few heavy-handed sessions on a coarse outdoor broom, there’s no chipped edge and no warping. The reinforced back does its job; the comb doesn’t fold under pressure. Cleanup is a quick rinse under the tap with a dab of dish soap. Hair and dust release easily. Because there’s no metal, I don’t worry about rust. I keep mine hanging to dry; the hole is large enough to catch reliably on a standard 1/4-inch hook.

One caution: avoid leaving it on a hot surface or in direct sun behind a window for long periods. Like most plastics, it can soften slightly under high heat. Indoors on a hook, it should last a long time.

A few technique tips

• Work from the bristle base to the tips to pull debris out rather than compacting it downward.
• Use short, overlapping strokes on tangled bristles; long, smooth strokes on lightly soiled bristles.
• For fine dust, finish with a light pass while slightly fanning the bristles with the comb to open them up.
• For mops, keep the comb angle shallow and follow the fiber direction to minimize snags.
• Empty the collected debris directly into a dustpan or trash can between passes to avoid redepositing.

What I liked

• Effective hair removal: Quickly clears long hair and pet undercoat that would otherwise stay trapped.
• Keeps hands clean: The handle design preserves distance from debris and works well with gloves.
• Sturdy feel: The reinforced back resists flex, making it comfortable to apply pressure.
• Convenient storage: The hanging hole and compact size mean it lives right next to the brooms.
• Two-pack practicality: I keep one in the house and one in the garage so the right tool is always close.

Where it falls short

• Not a miracle worker on soaked fibers: Wet hair and sticky residues will still need water or a rinse.
• Wide push brooms take longer: You’ll need multiple passes to cover the full width.
• Microfiber caution: Aggressive combing can fuzz delicate mop fibers; a gentle approach is required.
• Doesn’t reach every last particle: Ultra-fine dust deep in densely packed bristles may need a final tap or rinse.

None of these are deal-breakers; they’re more about matching expectations to the tool’s simple purpose.

Value and alternatives

The value proposition is straightforward: a low-cost, durable accessory that keeps brooms and mops working at their best and extends their lifespan. Compared to alternatives:

• Gloved hand: Works in a pinch but is slower, messier, and less thorough.
• Vacuum nozzle: Effective but awkward mid-sweep, and you’re tethered to the vacuum.
• Dustpans with built-in combs: Handy, though the combs are often small and fixed; a dedicated comb gives more leverage and reach.
• Rinsing the broom: Works well, but it’s less convenient during a sweep and can deform natural bristles if done repeatedly.

For the way I clean—quick passes in between chores—the dedicated comb strikes the right balance between speed and cleanliness.

Who it’s for

• Households with pets or long hair, where brooms regularly clog with strands.
• People who use microfiber dust mops and want a fast way to defuzz between washes.
• Cleaners who want to extend broom life and keep sweeping efficiency high without frequent rinsing.

Who might skip it: if you rely almost entirely on vacuuming, or you use only rubber brooms that you routinely rinse, you’ll see less benefit.

Final thoughts and recommendation

The NentMent broom comb is unglamorous, but it does exactly what I need: it removes hair and packed dust from broom bristles quickly, keeps my hands clean, and lives neatly on a hook where I’ll actually use it. The build is sturdier than I expected for a plastic scraper, and the two-pack means I always have one within reach. It’s not a universal solution—wet messes and dense microfiber need a lighter touch or a rinse—but for day-to-day sweeping, it turns a frustrating pause into a two-second swipe.

I recommend this tool. If your broom regularly gums up with hair or lint, this comb will save time, keep your hands out of the mess, and help your sweeping tools perform like they should.
