  • Portable cleaning device
    Patent number: 6883989
    Abstract: An integrated cleaning system including a casing for storing a cleaning agent, a pump sprayer seated in said casing for dispensing the cleaning agent to a desired surface, a towel for cleaning the desired surface, and a towel stowing mechanism to extend the towel between a first extended position for use and a second stored position for storing the towel in the casing. The towel stowing mechanism may be rotated to stow the towel in the second position. In another embodiment the towel stowing means, when initiated by a user, automatically retracts the towel into the second position.
