Brush Cap. The brush cap is a plastic “shell” that fits over the top of the brush. It is used to hold the brush bristles in place. The cap provides extra protection for the joint between the shaft and the brush. It also gives the broom a neater appearance.

A broom is more commonly used to sweep the external floors (such as streets, garages, sidewalks etc.), while a brush is more used on internal and closed spaces (such as the floor of a house, pub or shop).
