An eraser assembly is provided that includes a housing, a tray, a coupler, and an eraser insert. The housing has a concave shape including an interior portion. The tray has a retaining portion disposed in the interior portion of the housing and a mounting portion disposed opposite the retaining portion. The coupler is configured to releasably hold the tray to the housing. The eraser insert is configured to be mounted to the mounting portion. An eraser insert is also provided that includes a first side and a second side, an eraser pad, and a coupler. The first side includes a mounting surface and an eraser pad is disposed on the second side. The coupler is disposed on or about the mounting surface and is configured to detachably connect the eraser insert to an eraser assembly at the mounting surface.

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.

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.

A support fixture that can be securely attached to a work implement such as mops, push brushes, long handled paint rollers, shovels, garden rakes, leaf rakes, squeegees, long handled trowels, vacuum cleaner wands, walking sticks, long handled shears and other long handled tools, includes a mounting bracket and a standing leg. The standing leg is hingedly engaged into the mounting bracket. The support fixture is light in weight and weather resistant and substantially aids the work implement to stand alone uprightly and in a stable position when the work implement is not operational. When the work implement is operational, the standing leg may be adjustably flipped upwards to prevent any obstruction of the operations of the work implement.

A carpet seamer including an iron, a handle, and a neck. The iron includes a base plate and a heater configured to transmit heat to the base plate. The handle has a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The second end faces a direction of travel of the carpet seamer when the carpet seamer is in operation. The neck connects the iron with a lower portion of the handle. The carpet seamer also includes a battery receiving portion positioned at the second end of the handle. The battery receiving portion is configured to receive a releasably attachable battery pack. The carpet seamer further includes a seamer electronic processor coupled to the heater. The seamer electronic processor is configured to control the heater to selectively receive power from the battery pack

The planar cleaning pad for cleaning the screen of a smart phone or other similar electronic device includes a first surface, an opposed second surface and a periphery encircling the edges of the surfaces. The first surface is made from a microfiber fabric capable of cleaning the screen and the second surface includes a silicone capable of attaching to the back of the phone. The periphery of the pad has a thickness greater than the thickness of the remainder of the pad for ease in removing it from the back of the phone.

In some embodiments, the present invention is directed to a wire bristle brush comprising a handle, a head attached to the handle wherein the head has a first face and a second face, ferromagnetic brush bristles attached to the first face of the head, and a magnet attached to the head for magnetically attracting loose brush bristles that have become dislodged from the first face of the head.

One embodiment of a tool for cleaning the gaps between boards (48) that includes a handle (42) attached to a handle adapter (36) that is fastened to an elongated tube (20) at a midpoint. A plurality of independently adjustable blades (22) are slid onto the tube (20), and secured with pressure by fasteners. Height-adjustment glides (30) are fastened to the tube (20) so that the blades (22) are positioned at a depth for both the most effective cleaning of gaps (48), and also to avoid the blades (22) having excessive contact with supporting joists (46) during tool operation. The glides (30) are made so they will slide over the deck surface without causing damage to boards (44) or surface treatments. To remove accumulated debris, the blades (22) are moved back and forth in the gaps (48) by pulling and pushing the handle (42).

A temporary or permanent attachment device to a broom, mop, or other such cleaning device, or other stick/rod, which needs to be propped upright temporarily when not in use or permanently during storage. The attachment provides the ability for the stick to stand freely, independent of leaning against a wall, furniture, door or other to prevent the stick from falling to the ground or against other objects, or people or pets or anything else on its way down. The attachment collapses against the stick. It is basically a case, springs, tines and release levers which are releasably attached to the extended handle of the tool.
