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 sensor 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.

The present invention relates to a floor surfacing machine (1) comprising a frame (2) that is carried by a first wheel (3) and a second wheel (4). The floor surfacing machine (1) further comprises a first motor (6), a handle arrangement (7), at least one planetary head (15) that is rotatably mounted to the frame (2) and at least one satellite surfacing head (19, 20, 21) that is rotatably mounted to the planetary head (15), where the first motor (6) is arranged to propel the planetary head (15). The floor surfacing machine (1) comprises a first control unit (10), and a remote control panel (11) which in turn comprises a second control unit (12) that is arranged to communicate with the first control unit (10). The floor surfacing machine (1) also comprises a second motor (22) that is arranged to propel the satellite surfacing heads (19, 20, 21) such that the planetary head (15) and the satellite surfacing heads (19, 20, 21) are independently operable.

The extent of the movement area of an autonomous mobile object is appropriately fed back for the extent of the movement area in the next operation at a low cost. An autonomous mobile object (1) includes an operation result map creation unit (21) that creates, on the basis of a log of the position of a cleaning brush (9), an operation result map in which a cleaned area is indicated, and a next-cleaning-area setting unit (22) that sets a next cleaning area on the basis of the operation result map displayed on an operation panel (13).

The invention relates to a cleaning machine, including a cleaning head, a holding rod device and a joint device by means of which the holding rod device is articulated to pivot on the cleaning head. Arranged on the holding rod device is a connection element that has a first region and a second region, wherein the second region is at a spacing from the first region in a transverse direction and the transverse direction is oriented transversely to a longitudinal axis of the holding rod device, wherein the connection element is connected by way of the second region to a joint of the joint device with which a pivot axis is associated, and wherein the connection element is connected by way of the first region to the holding rod device.

A floor cleaner including a base movable over a surface to be cleaned, a suction nozzle provided on the base having a suction inlet, a body portion having a fluid dispensing member selectively removable from the body portion, the body portion being pivotally mounted to the base movable between an upright storage position and an inclined floor cleaning position, a suction source in fluid communication with the suction nozzle, and a reservoir configured to provide solution. The fluid dispensing member includes a grip, a dispensing nozzle in fluid communication with the reservoir, and an actuator. The fluid dispensing member is configured to deliver solution from the reservoir through the dispensing nozzle upon user actuation of the actuator, independent of function of the base and body of the floor cleaner.

A multifunctional mopping machine includes a handle, a body and a main machine. The body includes a mounting base, and a housing provided with a cleaning assembly; the body is detachably connected to the mounting base; the main machine includes a negative pressure assembly and a power supply assembly; the power supply assembly, the negative pressure assembly and the cleaning assembly form a cleaning mechanism; and a water tank for supplying water to the cleaning assembly, and a sodium hypochlorite electrolysis generator are arranged on the mounting base. An ultraviolet sterilizing lamp facing the ground to be cleaned is arranged on the housing. A tail end of a dust collecting hose communicates with a negative pressure end of the main machine, and collects both dirty water and dust on the floor, so as to ensure no stain left on the floor, satisfying present floor washing requirements.

A dispensing handle device is disclosed comprising a handle housing having an internal reservoir in which a water boil is prepared to temperatures that clean and, according to the guidelines of governmental health organizations, effectively disinfect surfaces in a post-pandemic world. Moreover, governmental health organizations caution against potentially harmful “chemical” disinfectants or natural products that may not kill microorganisms and therefore are ineffective. Further, the handle applicator has a passageway through which the water boil is dispensed; and a base plate member having an applicator surface on one side and attachable at an opposite side to the handle housing. Integrally formed with the base plate member is a valve comprising a lever and a plurality of torsion spring members, which pressure a sealing end of the lever against the handle housing, whereby sealing the water boil passageway to discharge the water boil in a controlled manner.

A surface-cleaning machine is provided, which includes an appliance body on which a suction apparatus device is arranged, a cleaning head on which at least one cleaning roller is arranged, and a drive device for driving the at least one cleaning roller in rotation, wherein the cleaning head has, between a first face side and an oppositely situated second face side, a first region, a second region and a central region situated between the first and second regions, and wherein at least one first suction mouth is positioned at the first region and associated with the at least one cleaning roller and at least one second suction mouth is positioned at the second region and associated with the at least one cleaning roller, wherein the at least one first suction mouth and the at least one second suction mouth are fluidically connected to the suction apparatus device.

A surface cleaning machine is provided, including a cleaning roller holder, a cleaning roller that is arranged on the cleaning roller holder, a drive device for rotary driving of the cleaning roller, and a sweeping element that is associated with the cleaning roller and supplies swept material to the cleaning roller, wherein the sweeping element is arranged rotatably on the cleaning roller holder.

A fluid suction device includes an elongate handle having a suction head at its distal end. The suction head extends in opposing directions substantially perpendicularly to the handle. The suction head includes an elongate longitudinal aperture in its outer wall in fluid communication with a suction pump. An absorbent panel covers the longitudinal aperture. When the suction head is applied to a spilled fluid, the wicking action of the absorbent panel and the negative air pressure from the suction pump allows rapid and efficient cleaning of an area affected by a fluid spill. The device also allows for safe and efficient removal of potentially dangerous objects such as broken glass. The device collects fluid in a waste reservoir so that it is easily disposed of.
