A cloth accessory and methods for the use thereof are disclosed and described. In one aspect, the cloth accessory may include a cover member forming an enclosure with a cavity therein, and a cloth attached to the cover member. The cloth may have a first configuration wherein the cloth is retracted substantially into the cover member, and a second configuration wherein the cloth is extended substantially out of the cover member without becoming detached there from.

A pet hair removal apparatus has a plurality of engagement members. One of the engagement members is triangular in cross section that is attached to a generally parallelogram body of the apparatus. The apparatus operates in a plurality of different operational engagement position in which different engagement members contact the surface to remove pet hair from the surface depending on which operational engagement position the apparatus is positioned. The pet hair removal apparatus may be formed through a coextrusion process to form the resultant parallelogram shape of the pet hair removal apparatus using multiple different materials to form the engagement members and a body thereof.

A vacuuming faucet assembly includes a faucet that is integrated into a counter top. A pair of vacuum units is each integrated into the faucet and each of the vacuum units includes a suction port that is in fluid communication with a vacuum source. The suction port on each of the vacuum units is extendable away from a respective vacuum unit for suctionally removing water from the counter top to dry the counter top. A plurality of motion sensors is each integrated into a respective one of the faucet and a respective one of the pair of vacuum units to sense motion proximate the respective faucet and the respective pair of vacuum units. Additionally, respective ones of the motion sensors turns on the respective faucet of the respective vacuum unit when the respective motion sensor senses motion.

A dust collection box for a dust extractor includes first and second air inlet chambers, an air inlet aperture through which air is drawn into the first air inlet chamber, an air outlet aperture through which air is dawn out of the second air outlet chamber, an air intermediate chamber formed in the housing, and a filter mounted within the housing. The filter includes a first part through which air passes from the air inlet chamber to the air outlet chamber, and a second part through which air passes from the air inlet chamber to the air intermediate chamber. An ambient air aperture is formed in the wall of the housing. A valve disposed proximate the ambient air aperture is switchable to connect the air intermediate chamber to only one of the air outlet chamber or the ambient air aperture.

A method of removing mites includes: acquiring a target path for mite removal and switching from a hibernation state to a crawling state upon receiving a mite removing instruction; in the crawling state, crawling according to the target path and performing mite removal during the crawling process; and after crawling to an end position of the target path, switching from the crawling state to the hibernation state.

A system includes a universal handle and a variety of tools selectively secured within the handle. The tools can be tools for grooming or collecting hair, and are especially useful with animals such as household pets. One example tool includes a mat breaker that is adjustable for left handed or right handed use. Another example tool is a fur sweeper tool and a fur accumulator tool. Other tools include deshedders, brushes, and combs.

The device includes a substantially cylindrical, oblong, rigid, extension pole having a distal end upon which is formed an articulatable jaw structure head which can be actuated between open and closed positions by the pull of either a medial handle or knob located at the proximal end. A collector sock made from a pliable sheet material can be mounted upon the jaw structure so that the sock enwraps the entire item to be dusted such as a ceiling fan blade. The inner surface of the sock surrounding its open end maw can include asperities and electrostatic, dust adhering fibers to help scrape off and capture fine particles of dust and other debris from the item being dusted. The head can include a pair of parallely separatable cantelevered beams engaging the sock.
