Encyclopedia of Brooms

written by Sayan Sanyal

This book is dedicated to Keith Silvester. It deals with the detailed discussion of Magical Brooms. This book is a mirror of my continuous research work on broom studies. Although many informations are untrackable in the lost pages of old books and manuscripts, this book will try to shed some light of knowledge with the help of my research work. As a matter of fact, further research will add many more chapters I presume. If you are daring and into flying, this is for you. If you are just curious about broom history and current broom ratings and all, these are discussed here too.

Cleansweep Broom Company

Chapter 11
The Cleansweep Broom Company was a broomstick company founded by Bob, Bill, and Barnaby Ollerton in 1926. The company was the first to develop brooms specially for broom sports, and were the first company to begin mass-producing broomsticks.

They released the Cleansweep One in 1926, and it was a runway success. The Cleansweep Two was released in 1934, and the Cleansweep Three in 1937. Several more models were released, the latest being the Cleansweep Eleven. During their early years, the company had a fierce rivalry with the Comet Trading Company.

The Ravenclaw team is said to have the latest model Cleansweep brooms.

Cleansweeps have thicker handles than a Firebolt.

In an article published in The Quibbler, a wizard claimed to have flown to the moon on a Cleansweep broom. This is most likely untrue for obvious reasons.

A Cleansweep broom ridden by Holyhead Harpies captain Gwendolyn Morgan, featured in one of the finest Quidditch games ever seen in 1953.

Two Cleansweeps ended up in the River Mersey when rushing to get to the last of Celestina Warbeck's Flighty Aphrodite concerts.

Splinter and Kreek's, presumably a second-hand broom shop (though it's possible they sell new brooms as well) sells secondhand Cleansweep brooms.
