After having prepared her cloth with the cleaning polish, she started to feel a bit light headed. Maybe the smell of the polish was just taking over the oxygen in the area around her. Maybe not...

She put the bit of the cloth with the most polish on it directly on the handle and started rubbing it into the handle. Then she started rubbing it in a circular motion, making sure she worked it into all the grains and surfaces. She went over the entire handle three, four, five times, applying more and more pressure with each motion. She wanted to make sure the polish got right into the little cracks and bumps, when she came across them. No point spending all this time on cleaning the broom if she wasn't going to take her time and do it properly. Absolutely NOT! Besides, this wasn't her broom but she might want to ride it, so if she cleaned it nicely she would be able to test it out. See what it felt like.
