Abstract: A lint roller dispensable fluid container apparatus includes a support for mounting a lint roll on a dispensable fluid container. The support may be a hollow tubular member rotatably carrying the lint roll and which is releasably mountable over one end of the container. The support may also be formed on the container cap which covers a discharge nozzle or outlet in the cap.

Abstract: A pull tab is formed at a separable edge of each of a plurality of individually separable sheets of outwardly faced adhesive tape wound into a roll by a non-adhesive portion carried on the adhesive layer of the tape to facilitate gripping and removal of an outermost sheet from the tape roll to expose an underlying sheet. The separable edges extend at least partially through the tape roll dividing the tape into a plurality of separable sheets and across substantially all of the lateral extent of the roll. The separable edge can be two spaced separable edges disposed in registry with each non-adhesive portion to define opposite leading edges.

Abstract: An adhesive tape brush for cleaning fabric includes a handle and a brush head. Multiple cleaning sheets are removably supported on a lower and upper surfaces of the brush head in a separable roll, non-movably fixed on the brush head. When the outermost sheet becomes soiled, the sheet may be peeled away to expose an underlying non-soiled sheet. The brush head is fixed relative to the handle so that the web of sheets is not movable to create a high amount of friction when the outermost sheet is engaged and moved along with a surface. An elongated tape roll refill has perforations in at least one location to allow the roll to be separated into smaller width portions for individual use. Another tape roll refill has a generally nominal circular cross-section, but is deformable to an oblate shape to be mountable on either circular or oblate shaped brush heads.

Abstract: A tape roll formed of a plurality of individually separable sheets of outwardly faced adhesive tape has a separation element carried on the substrate to separate at least one of the longitudinally extending, lateral side edges or one of a separable lateral edge to from the remainder of the tape roll. The separation element may take the form of embossings, punchings or a resilient layer to separate the edges of the tape roll from each other and to provide an easily grasped edge for separation of the outermost sheet from the roll.

Abstract: A lint/pet hair roller assembly includes a body supporting a tubular adhesive lint remover roller and/or a stationary directional lint brush fabric. The assembly includes a handle section and a roller support section. The support section has an outer diameter less than the diameter of the adhesive lint roll or a directional fabric wrapped about the support section. The elongated handle section receives a separate rubber cushion and an optional decorative top including a hanger. Alternately, an arm projects from the body and receives an additional cleaning element. Alternately, a dispenser is carried on the handle for dispensing fluid from a storage chamber carried in the handle. Alternately, a squeegee is alternately carried in the support.

Abstract: A cleaning mat system is designed for placement on a floor and for cleaning the undersides of shoes, feet, and other objects. The cleaning mat system includes a base with an upper surface and a lower surface interconnected by a perimeter edge. The perimeter edge includes a leading edge and an opposed trailing edge. The upper surface of the base includes upwardly extending teeth covering the majority of the upper surface, and the lower surface includes downwardly extending teeth on at least a portion of the lower surface adjacent the leading and trailing edges. A removable and disposable cleaning sheet has an upper face for cleaning and an opposed lower face. The cleaning sheet has a pair of spaced-apart side edge portions and a central portion. In use, the cleaning sheet is positioned on the base such that the central portion is adjacent the upper surface of the base and the side edge portions wrap around the leading and trailing edges to be trapped between the teeth and the floor.

Abstract: A cleaning apparatus includes a handle, a support rotatably coupled to the handle for rotation by a drive motor mounted in the handle and a cleaning element mountable on the support. The cleaning element a flexible mat fixed about the support or about a core mountable on the support. An auxiliary cleaning element attachment may be mounted on the end wall of the support. A liquid container may be mounted in the support or used to form the support to dispense fluid to the cleaning element disposed about the support.

Abstract: A pull tab is formed at a separable edge of each of a plurality of individually separable sheets of outwardly faced adhesive tape wound into a roll by a non-adhesive portion carried on the adhesive layer of the tape to facilitate gripping and removal of an outermost sheet from the tape roll to expose an underlying sheet. The separable edges extend at least partially through the tape roll dividing the tape into a plurality of separable sheets.

Abstract: The cleaning mat is designed for placement on the floor and for cleaning the undersides of shoes, feet and other objects. The mat includes a base layer formed of a non-slip polymer material and a non-woven absorbent cleaning layer generally co-extensive with the base layer and attached thereto. The cleaning layer has an upper surface for cleaning and a lower surface joined to the base layer. The cleaning layer has a plurality of openings defined therethrough.

Abstract: The cleaning mat is designed for placement on the floor and includes a base layer formed of a non-slip polymer material and a non-woven absorbent cleaning layer co-extensive with the base layer and attached thereto. A texture layer is attached to the cleaning layer. The texture layer includes a plurality of non-woven material sections, each having portions interconnected with the cleaning layer and a portion not connected with the cleaning layer and separable therefrom.

Abstract: A refill is designed for use with a mop of the type having a mop head with a lower surface and an opposed upper surface interconnected by a leading and a trailing edge. The mop head has a gripper device on its upper surface for retaining a cleaning sheet on the mop head. The refill includes a base layer with a front edge and an opposed rear edge, and a midportion between the front and rear edges. The base layer is designed to be wrapped about the mop head with the midportion adjacent to the lower surface of the mop head and the front and rear edges wrapping onto the upper surface of the mop head so as to be retained by the gripper. Multiple cleaning sheets are each removably supported on the midportion of the base layer in a stacked configuration. Each of the sheets has an outward face for cleaning and an opposed inward face. The outward face of each of the sheets is designed to contact a surface to be cleaned and to thereby become soiled.
