A cleaning device is provided that includes a handle, a cleaning implement, a flexible neck, and a collar. The cleaning implement depends from one end the handle. The flexible neck is positioned to allow flexion of the handle. The collar moves with respect to the flexible neck between a first position where movement of the flexible neck is unrestricted by the collar and a second position where movement of the flexible neck is restricted by the collar.

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.

A dusting device is provided that has at least one cleaning member with a microfiber bundle secured to a spine by a seam. The spine provides a resilient flexibility to the cleaning member such that the spine flexes as pressure is applied, but at least partially returns to an original shape upon removal of the pressure.

A multi-purpose cleaning device is provided that can be used with multiple different types of cleaning attachments. The cleaning device includes a handle that is attachable to a socket device that includes several claw members. The claw members have interior portions that are contoured so that the space between the claw members forms a sphere-shaped socket. The cleaning attachments preferably include a ball portion that can be securely mated within the sphere-shaped socket. When the user prefers three degrees of freedom for the attachment, the ball has impeded rotation within the socket. When the user prefers one degree of freedom for the attachment, the ball also includes a rod or post that can releasably lock the ball to the socket.

A cleaning apparatus for cleaning around an object including a handle having a first end and an opposing second end, a flexible member coupled to the second end of the handle; and a cleaning appendage coupled to the flexible member, wherein flexible member allows the cleaning appendage to move omni-directionally when encountering an object.

A handheld dust-removing device, including a main body to remove at least one particle of dust disposed on a surface of an air conditioning filter, and a handle at least partially disposed within at least a portion of the main body to allow a user to move the main body across the surface of an air conditioning filter to remove the at least one particle of dust.
