Best Answer

A broom has coarse bristles (think scrubbing a yard) whilst a brush has softer bristles (paint brush, dustpan and brush etc). A broom tends to require 2 hands to operate to its full potential whilst a brush can usually be operated with one hand. Obvious anomoly being a curling brush .. which used to be a broom, until it was discovered that softer bristles worked the ice better, but still retained the longer broom like handle.
