Abstract: A cleaning apparatus with a rotatable frame in a housing. Objects to be cleaned are placed on the frame. A cleaning fluid is sprayed onto the objects to rotate the objects and frame. As the objects and frame rotate, the frame pushes against scrubbers which are thereby also rotated with the frame. Since the scrubbers themselves are mounted on a sum and planetary gear arrangement, the scrubbers spin against and thus clean the objects as they are being pushed by the rotating frame. Accordingly, the scrubbers are rotatable with the frame and rotatable relative to the frame. The scrubbers are still further slideable in the same direction relative to the rotatable frame to scrub each of the objects from end to end. Hence the objects are cleaned by spinning and sliding scrubbers as well as by the cleaning fluid being sprayed directly onto the objects. A method of cleaning objects or tools is also disclosed.
