It can be a brush. There are floor brushes that have shorter handles than brooms that are used for smaller clean-ups.

@Mapleer You can scrub with a brush, but it would be a brush that has stiffer bristles (the brush is often called a scrub brush), and you would often use soap and water on the floor to take off dirt that is stuck to the floor. Sweep would be for loose dirt.
