Abstract: A cleaning device has a basin that receives an operator head of the hair removing apparatus, a tank storing a volume of a cleaning liquid, and a pump supplying the liquid from the tank to the basin for cleaning the operator head. A drip pan is formed separately from the tank and is disposed underneath the basin for collecting the liquid dripping from the basin as well as contaminants dislodged from the operator head. The drip pan is connected to the tank so as to return the liquid from within the drip pan to the tank under the action of the pump. A filter is provided in the drip pan for removing the contaminants from the liquid so that the filter can be cleaned or replaced without involving the tank and the liquid contained therein.
