Abstract: A cleaning device, including a cleaning head receiver, a cleaning head frame, a cleaning material attached to the cleaning head frame, and a release lever having a handle at a first end and an ejecting surface at a second end. The release lever is arranged within the cleaning head receiver. The release lever is configured to rotate and thereby apply an ejecting force against the cleaning head frame via the ejecting surface.

Abstract: A cleaning device, including a cleaning head receiver, a cleaning head frame, a cleaning material attached to the cleaning head frame, and a slide release having a handle, an ejecting surface, and a top surface. The ejecting surface is angled relative to the top surface, and the slide release is arranged within the cleaning head receiver. The slide release is configured to move in a first direction in response to a force applied by a user against the handle. The slide release is configured to apply an ejecting force against the cleaning head frame via the ejecting surface when the slide release is moved in the first direction.

Abstract: A bucket assembly for use with a mop includes inner and outer bucket assemblies including first and second reservoirs, respectively. The inner bucket assembly includes a rinse bucket, fluid connection and closure element between the rinse bucket and the first reservoir. The first reservoir is optionally otherwise sealed when the at least one closure element is in the open position. The inner bucket is disposed at least partially within the second reservoir. A drainage channel fluidly connected to the second reservoir is formed by at least one of the inner bucket assembly and/or the outer bucket assembly.

Abstract: A cleaning article includes: a first panel having: a first fiber layer; and a first substrate attached to the first fiber layer by a first connection type; and a second panel having: a second fiber layer; and a second substrate attached to the second fiber layer by the first connection type. The first connection type includes a first connection line in parallel with a second connection line, the first and second connection lines together straddling a center line of a respective panel that extends in an axial direction. The first panel is attached to the second panel by a plurality of spot connections so as to create a pocket between the first panel and the second panel.

Abstract: A dusting tool having a flexible skeletal element including a base, from which four elongated arms extend. The elongated arms have a base end and a distal end. The base ends extend from the base and being spaced apart from one another at the base. The arms being flexible and resilient. A plurality of cross-members extend between the elongated arms, a plurality of living hinges being disposed between the plurality of cross-members and the elongated arms. A force applied to at least one of the elongated arms is transmitted to the other of the elongated arm by the plurality of cross-members and the plurality of living hinges.

Abstract: A beveled broom and step-on dustpan cleaning system including a step-on dustpan having a step-on portion configured to allow a user to collect debris in a receptacle of the dustpan when a force is applied on the step-on portion. The dustpan includes a lip portion which is configured to seal against a floor surface upon a user stepping on the step-on portion to collect debris. A beveled broom having a broom head configured with a beveled or chamfered shape at a functional angle to provide an effective and efficient contact surface to a floor surface to collect debris during use.

Abstract: A floor mop including a handle, a shaft coupled to the handle, a multidirectional joint coupled to the shaft opposite the handle, and a mop plate. The mop plate is unitarily formed and includes an upper plate including an upper surface, a substantially parallel lower plate including a lower surface, lateral faces extending between the upper and lower plate, and at least one internal web extending between the upper and lower plates. The upper plate, lower plate, lateral faces and at least one internal web are unitarily formed. The mop plate and the multidirectional joint further include complementary coupling structures.

Abstract: An actuable shaft assembly for a spray mop assembly includes first and second hollow elongated outer shaft segments in which first and second elongated actuating rod segments are telescopingly disposed, respectively. The first and second outer shaft segments include respective first and second shaft retaining elements extending into their hollow interiors. The first and second rod segments include respective first and second rod retaining elements extending radially outward from their outer peripheral surfaces. The rod retaining elements and shaft retaining elements are sized and disposed to limit telescoping movement of the associated rod segments outward from the shaft segment ends.
