Rotary devices and methods of use thereof are disclosed. The rotary devices may be configured as cleaning apparatuses. A cleaning apparatus may include an elongated tube member with an attachment end portion, a holding end portion, an internal cavity, and a helical slot. The cleaning apparatus may also include a handle with a following pin, the tube member extending through the handle with the following pin extending through helical slot. The cleaning apparatus may further include a guide element, a stop member, a first resilient biasing element of a first stiffness and a second resilient biasing element of a second stiffness positioned within the internal cavity. Longitudinal translation of the handle along the tube member from the holding end portion to the attachment end portion rotates the tube member about the longitudinal axis and resiliently deforms the first and second resiliently deforms the biasing elements.

The current document is directed to a new type of grill-cleaning tool that includes one or more scrapers as well as freely sliding scraping pins that conform to the surfaces of a grill to assist the one or more scrapers in removing grease and cooking debris from the surfaces of the grill. The scraping pins are rigid pins, made from durable materials, with scraping-pin shafts generally having diameters or widths of 2 mm or more, as a result of which the scraping pins are not susceptible to shedding and breakage during normal cleaning operations. In addition, unlike brush bristles, the scraping pins are spaced apart from one another and have relatively low surface-area to scraping-pin-number ratios, which decreases the tendency of the scraping pins to become clogged with grease and cooking debris relative to metal brush bristles and greatly facilitates cleaning grease and cooking debris from the grill-cleaning tool.

A soap wand holder assembly for holding a soap wand in a vertical orientation for storage includes a first bracket that is positionable over a bridge portion of a double kitchen sink. A second bracket is positionable over the bridge portion of the double kitchen sink. A spacer is coupled between each of the first and second brackets for spacing the first and second brackets apart from each other. A holder is coupled between each of the first bracket and the second bracket. A soap wand is positionable in the holder when the first and second brackets are positioned on the bridge portion of the double kitchen sink.

The invention relates to a sink insert (1) with at least one holding rod (2) for cleaning rags and the like. The at least one holding rod (2) is designed to be flat at both end sections of the rod. Alternatively or in addition thereto, the sink insert (1) has bearing pieces (3) which are insertable so as to cover the edges of opposing sink edges and on which the end sections of the at least one holding rod (2) are held.

The weighted deformable cleaning device includes an outer sack sized to receive a weighted sack. The outer sack has an abrasive surface. The weighted sack contains a bead composition having a combination of weighted beads and cushion beads. The weighted beads are made a non-reactive heavy material and are preferably spherical in shape. The cushion beads are smaller in size than the weighted beads and are made from a lightweight material. The number of cushion beads in the weighted sack exceeds the number of the weighted beads such that the cushion beads have a higher volumetric weight in the weighted sack compared to the weighted beads.

The weighted deformable cleaning device deforms to pass through narrow openings of a container, such as a bottle. The added mass from the weighted sack allows for increased frictional cleaning forces when the container is agitated, thereby increasing the cleaning efficiency of the device.
