Shirokiya Denbei Harimi Dustpan

Yes. While it is made of paper, it is treated for durability and rigidity. It is designed to hold up to regular household cleaning tasks, though it is not intended for heavy-duty debris like wet mud or sharp construction waste.

The paper construction allows the edge to sit incredibly flush against the floor. This creates a seamless transition that makes it much easier to sweep fine dust and particles into the pan without leaving a line of debris behind.

Because it is made of treated paper, you should avoid submerging it in water. Simply wipe it clean with a dry cloth or a slightly damp, well-wrung cloth if necessary, and ensure it is completely dry before storing.

At 20cm in length, this is a compact tool designed for quick cleanups and small spaces. It works best with a handheld brush or a smaller broom rather than a full-sized floor broom.

No, that is one of the primary benefits of using natural materials. Unlike plastic, which can generate static electricity and cause dust to cling to the sides of the pan, this paper dustpan allows debris to slide off easily into the trash.
