Vickers stood and neared the baskets that had the rags and the sponges. He collected one of each and walked back to his seat, setting the rags aside for later. Taking the sponge in his hand, the boy dipped it into the bucket then gave it a squeeze, opting to keep a bit more of the soapy mixture for the first pass. He started at the top of the handle then down the entire shaft of the broom, giving it a quick swipe before returning back to the top and made a more detailed scrubbing. Detailing. Yeah he's good at that.

When he was done he took the blue rag and patted the shaft dry just as the Flying Professor demonstrated, absorbing as much dampness from the shaft as he could.
