The present invention relates to a wiping mop (10) with a housing (20), wherein an anchoring mechanism (11) for a handle (12) for guiding the wiping mop (10) is attached to the upper side of the housing.

A wiping band (30) which is closed in itself is guided partially around and partially through the housing (20). On entry into the housing (20) the wiping band (30) runs through a mechanical dirt separator as well as a first (80) and a second (70) tank to be filled with wiping liquids in each case, whereby the wiping band (30) is cleaned of dirt particles taken up during use and is moistened for further wiping. Before leaving the second tank (80) the wiping band (30) is wrung out by cheeks of an outlet slot which are displaceable manually relative to one another.

A scrubbing tool for cleaning a surface that has a handle for holding by a user in a cleaning operation. The handle has a first connector. The scrubbing tool also has a cleaning head having a second connector configured to mate with the first connector in order to attach the cleaning head to the handle in an engaged position. The cleaning head is comprised entirely of a material configured to dissolve in water and has a cleaning agent.

Conventionally, cleaning of objects has been proposed by use of gloves wherein objects need to be pre-washed manually. However, the level of cleaning is not spotless. Electric scrubbers have also been proposed in solving scrubbing problem but are not efficient. Embodiment of the present disclosure provide a glove that integrates a detachable power-driven scrubber. The power-driven scrubber is configured to controllably rotate in one or more directions based on an activation of a sensor to clean an object. The glove further includes sensing mechanisms for controlled flow of water discharge and controlled flow of cleansing fluid dispense that enables the detachable power-driven scrubber to clean the object. Rotation of the detachable power-driven scrubber is controlled and driven by a drive shaft that transmits rotary motion/torque generated by a motor coupled thereto. A scrubber locking strap is provided on the glove for lock and release of the detachable power-driven scrubber accordingly.

A cleaning device having a handle portion and a surface contacting portion, at least one of the handle portion and the surface contacting portion having a pressure indicator, wherein the pressure indicator provides a reversible signal in response to a certain pressure applied to the cleaning device that is within a certain pressure range.

A cleaning, sanitizing or disinfecting scrubbing device includes a body, a non-thermal plasma generator and damp wipe. Generated plasma activates fluid in the wipe. The device may include spacer posts between the body and wipe and a conductive mesh between the body and wipe or embedded in the wipe. Another embodiment includes a reservoir for holding a water-based fluid, a fluid delivery element connected to the reservoir by a tube through which the fluid can flow and a non-thermal plasma generator. The non-thermal plasma generator activates the fluid. In one embodiment the scrubbing device is a mitt. In another embodiment the scrubbing device is a glove.

A surface cleaning tool including a housing forming a handle, a motor, a fluid reservoir coupled to the motor for rotational movement, a cleaning head coupled to and rotatable with the fluid reservoir, and a valve configured to control the flow of fluid from the fluid reservoir to the cleaning head. The valve is actuated by movement of the fluid reservoir from a first position to a second position relative to the cleaning head.
