Tin Dustpan

While most dustpans today are made of synthetic materials such as plastic, this dustpan from Osaka is individually handmade by small manufacturers using tin. Tin is a soft and malleable material that is not only lightweight but also particularly resistant to corrosion. There can be a special pleasure tidying around the house with this item, free from the noise of a vacuum cleaner. These tin dustpans should last a great deal longer than ones made of plastic and can even act as an attractive piece of interior decor if hung from the wall on their loop.

Doesn’t require special care.
