To simplify and save time, it is necessary to innovate a floor sweeper. The push system floor sweeper is a form of innovation that facilitates the process of sweeping the floor. In this study a thrust system floor sweeper was designed and manufactured. The design process begins with identification of needs, concept design, design and analysis using the fabrication method, then this tool is tested in a room of 35.28 meters, 61.2 meters and 122.4 meters. From the trials conducted, it was found that the floor sweeper functions properly and can clean large and spacious rooms with 50% efficiency.
