A special broom for Pesach?

Question

Is it necessary to use a special broom for Pesach, or is it permitted to clean for Pesach with the same broom that is used all year round?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

According to the strict halachic requirement, it is permitted to shake it out well from crumbs, clean it with a cleaning agent, and use it on Pesach. 

However, many have the custom to use a special broom, since it is difficult to clean thoroughly between the broom’s bristles.
