  • Publication number: 20260198748
    Abstract: The following are examples only, as the invention is broader than this Abstract. The present invention relates to a charging system for mops designed to improve efficiency and reduce liquid waste. The system comprises a single-piece saturation tray/liquid reservoir with an integrated liquid removal and reclamation ledge that channels excess liquid back into the reservoir. The tray is supported by a Slim-T bucket or a NovaSat Stand, and is available in multiple sizes to accommodate various cleaning applications, including room and hood cleaning. The tray is autoclavable, lightweight, and features a color-coded design for enhanced sanitary maintenance. The system allows for pre-saturation of mops, reclamation of excess liquid, and easy transport via modular components. It supports both single and multi-bucket configurations and is designed for compact use in small spaces, promoting fluid recycling and reducing disinfectant usage. The system can saturate up to four mops in less than two minutes.
