What does 🧹 Broom mean?
A broom with bristles. It stands for cleaning, sweeping and tidying up. People use it for chores, spring cleaning and clearing out clutter, and for witches and Halloween because of the flying broomstick. In sports, a “sweep” means winning every game of a series, so fans use 🧹 for that. It can also mean clearing out bad energy or toxic people.
🧹 Broom is an emoji from the Objects category (household items), added in Emoji 11.0 in 2018. People use it in messages about cleaning, sweeping and witch.
