The present invention relates to systems and methods for cleaning materials, such as flooring and upholstery. In some cases, the systems and methods use an electrolytic cell to electrolyze a solution comprising sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium acetate, sodium percarbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, and/or any other suitable chemical to generate electrolyzed alkaline water and/or electrolyzed oxidizing water. In some cases, the cell comprises a recirculation loop that recirculates anolyte through an anode compartment of the cell. In some cases, the cell further comprises a senor and a processor, where the processor is configured to automatically change an operation of the cell, based on a reading from the sensor. In some cases, a fluid flows past a magnet before entering the cell. In some additional cases, fluid from the cell is conditioned by being split into multiple conduits that run in proximity to each other. Additional implementations are described.

A cleaning implement which utilizes a low-power motor coupled to a plurality of angle gears and drive lines for creating a mechanical action adapted to clean hair and fur. The device includes a housing, which may be bifurcated, and a plurality of bristled protrusions positioned in staggered form along elongated shafts connected to drive lines using angle gears.

A floor cleaner including a vacuum source and a base movable over a surface to be cleaned. The base includes a suction inlet in fluid communication with the vacuum source, a brushroll chamber, a brushroll in the brushroll chamber, the brushroll rotatable about a brushroll axis, a brushroll cover releaseably attached to the base, the brushroll cover removable to access the brushroll chamber and the brushroll. The base further includes a first actuator movable in a first direction from a latched position and to an unlatched position and a second actuator movable in a second direction, opposite the first direction, from a latched position and an unlatched position. The brushroll cover is secured to the base when the first and second actuators are in the latched positions and the brushroll cover is removable from the base when the first and second actuators are in the unlatched positions.

A cleaning machine may include: a first brush including a first brush shaft and a first brush body held by the first brush shaft; a second brush including a second brush shaft and a second brush body held on the second brush shaft; a first brush attaching member having a first shape, wherein one end of the first brush shaft is detachably attached to the first brush attaching member; and a second brush attaching member having a second shape, wherein one end of the second brush shaft is detachably attached to the second brush attaching member. The one end of the first brush shaft may have a first corresponding shape that corresponds to the first shape. The one end of the second brush shaft may have a second corresponding shape that corresponds to the second shape. Other end of the first brush shaft may have the second corresponding shape.

A floor cleaning machine with a base, a control handle and a joint that permits that permits the handle to be pivoted in arbitrary directions relative to the base. The joint has first and second joint elements that are each attached to a corresponding of the base and the control handle. The first joint element has an envelope in the shape of a ball socket and is received into the second joint element. The first joint element is pivotable relative to the second joint element about a stationary fulcrum. The center of the envelope is non-displaceable relative to the second joint element. Grooves, which run in an arcuate manner, are provided on one of the first and the second joint elements, while corresponding engagement parts are provided on the other one of the first and the second joint elements and extend into corresponding ones of the grooves.

A popcorn ceiling scraper includes a scraping head with multiple blades, at least one of which is oriented horizontally in the same plane as the scraping head with other blades extending vertically from the scraping head. The ceiling scraper has a funnel arranged below the scraping head, and the funnel and the scraping head are formed to reach to an edge or juncture between a ceiling and a wall.

The invention relates to a floor cleaning system, comprising a user-guided floor cleaning machine for cleaning a floor surface, a sensor device, a control device, and an actuatable display device, wherein the floor cleaning machine comprises an operating device for a user, a chassis for moving the cleaning machine over the floor surface, and at least one cleaning device having a cleaning tool and preferably a drive device for the cleaning tool, wherein, during operation of the floor cleaning machine, a cleaning path along which, proceeding from a starting point, the cleaning machine travels over the floor surface can be determined by the control device on the basis of signals from the sensor device, and wherein the control device actuates the display device in order to display cleaning-related information, depending upon the cleaning path along which the cleaning machine is determined to have traveled.

A management device simultaneously clamps both the power cord and the vacuum tube of a floor preparation machine to appropriately direct the power cord and vacuum tube and protect from damage the power cord, vacuum tube cord plug and machine socket associated with the power cord and fitting associated with the vacuum tube.

A floor cleaning machine is provided, including a base, a rocker which is arranged at the base via a first pivot bearing for pivotal movement about a first pivot axis, a sweeping roller which is arranged at the rocker via a rotary bearing for rotational movement about a rotary axis, a motor device for rotatably driving the sweeping roller, and a traction drive having a traction member for transmitting torque from the motor device to the sweeping roller, wherein the traction member includes a load-side section, wherein a lever is arranged at the base via a second pivot bearing for pivotal movement about a second pivot axis, wherein the lever is articulated to the rocker, and wherein a deflection element for the traction member is arranged at the lever, wherein the traction member is guided on the deflection element in the load-side section.
