Abstract: A cleaning apparatus is disclosed that includes a cleaning tool and a cleaning attachment. The cleaning tool includes a proximal handle and a distal head. The head includes a plurality of distally extending fibers and a connector that receives the cleaning attachment. A retention mechanism holds the cleaning attachment in position in the connector. The cleaning attachment is a comb that includes a handle and a head. The head of the comb includes plurality of distally extending teeth. The teeth are cooperatively sized and dimensioned to clean dust and dirt from the fibers of the cleaning tool.

Abstract: A mop apparatus is described that includes an elongate handle, a mop head and a wringing device. The mop head includes a bracket connected to a distal end portion of the elongate handle. The bracket has a pair of distally extending arms that connect to the mop. The mop has a distally directed cleaning surface and opposed rear surface that connects to the bracket. A backing plate is connected to the rear surface of the mop. The wringing device is actuated by a movable handle that displaces and rotates portions of the plate to compress and wring out the water from the mop.

Abstract: A cleaning device is disclosed having a cleaning member, the cleaning member having a first surface, the surface having synthetic loops. The cleaning member having a base plate, the base plate having a plurality of projections for gripping said first surface of said cleaning member. The projections have a stiff top segment, the top segment having opposing ends, the ends extend the said top segment by a predefined distance. The opposing ends capable of being repetitively gripped and released from the first surface of the cleaning member. The projections have a stiff intermediate section, the intermediate section separating the top segment from the base plate by a predefined distance.

Abstract: A broom with a broom head has flared out bristles projecting therefrom so as to form a leading edge for reaching into confined spaces. The broom head has an opening therethrough to define an integral handle to better control the leading edge and the broomstick is angled away from the leading edge to facilitate entry into confined spaces.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards a hand held scrubber or polisher possessing an ergonomically designed handle, a base plate to which the handle is attached, and a cleaning element that can be removed and replaced. The invention provides for a device that can be used with both comfort and efficiency, in the process of cleaning. Both the handle and the cleaning element can be changed for varying jobs or after they become worn or uncomfortable.

Abstract: An elongated handle for a broom or mop having an offset portion defined by two wide radius curves of specified differing radii which blend smoothly into each other near the attachment point for the broom or mop.
