A surface cleaning apparatus, such as a fluid delivery or steam mop, comprises a handle assembly comprising a steam distributor and a foot assembly pivotally attached to the handle assembly and comprising a base housing. The foot assembly can be used in two positions, whereby opposing sides of a cleaning pad on the base housing can selectively engage a surface to be cleaned. The foot assembly is further swivelable relative to the steam distributor, such that fluid can be delivered to the surface to be cleaned in both of the two use positions.

An improved groove and crack cleaning tool that is economical in cost to manufacture, includes a rigid blade head with a blade tip at the end of the blade edge adapted to dislodge debris build-up commonly found between outdoor surfaces. In addition, groove and crack cleaning tool has a handle adapter built into the blade head for the attachment of different types of handles. The blade head having different thickness and length provide a tool that is simple and easy to use on many outdoors surface and during tool operation, the blade edge glide will slide over the outdoor surface without causing damage to that surface. The blade head is angled to easily wedge under any debris lodged in groove or cracks forcing the lodged debris generally upward.

A ceiling joist and panel grove cleaner apparatus, which provides a means for applying constant cleaning positioning pressure upon both ceiling joists edges and panel groves. The cleaner apparatus comprises a mop flat head applicator with a pivotable hinged application guide, a swivel mount, a handle, an interchangeable joist-cleaning pad, and, an interchangeable panel-grove cleaning pad.

A cushion including a plush material and formed in a step shape. The step shape includes a rear surface vertically disposed, a bottom surface horizontally disposed, a first L-shaped sidewall vertically disposed, a second L-shaped sidewall vertically disposed, a first front vertical surface extending upward from the bottom surface, a horizontal front surface extending rearward from the first front vertical surface, a second front vertical surface extending upward from the horizontal front surface, and a top horizontal surface extending rearward from the second front vertical surface and adjoining with the rear surface. The step shape of the cushion enables the present invention to be utilized in a method of blocking a stairway.

Systems and methods for detecting a site maintenance operation done by a maintenance device are described. At least one motion sensor and at least one localization sensor can each be operatively coupled to the maintenance device to detect one or more motion parameters of the maintenance device via the motion sensor and the localization sensor. The maintenance device can be localized (e.g., its position located) on the indoor map. A movement of the maintenance device can be characterized and/or tracked on the indoor map. A motion map can be displayed to illustrate (e.g., visually represent) the characterized movement. An offsite computer can be used to determine whether the site maintenance operation has commenced at the indoor location, measure one or more maintenance parameters of the site maintenance operation and/or compare the one or more maintenance parameters to predetermined benchmark parameters to determine whether the site maintenance operation has been completed.
