A cleaning apparatus includes a cleaning head, a supply tank, and an outlet in fluid communication with the supply tank. A diverter is provided in a distribution path between the supply tank and the outlet and is configured to divert cleaning fluid away from the outlet based on detected movement or acceleration of the apparatus.

Nonwoven fabrics are provided that include (i) continuous fibers and (ii) a blend of staple fibers comprising polyester staple fibers, bicomponent staple fibers, microfiber staple fibers, and wettable staple fibers, in which the continuous fibers are mechanically entangled with the blend of staple fibers. The continuous fibers and the blend of staple fibers may be mechanically entangled via a hydroentangling process.

A device for hot cleaning of various types of surfaces, such as floors, tiled wall, large windows, mirrors, large household appliances, etc. The device includes a core body, including a steam generator and dispenser, suitable to generate steam under pressure and at high temperature, a metal heating plate with an heating element, a metal heated lower base to support and heat a cleaning cloth, a first valve, such as for example a solenoid valve, a second valve, such as for example a solenoid valve, a series of nozzles, a series of steam dispensers, and provided at the top with an articulated joint, a long hollow stiff thermally insulated element, such as a cylindrical tube, an ergonomic control and command system hollow along the length, and a hose.

A handle apparatus includes a substantially elongate cylindrical section, a bulbous top section formed at the top of the elongate cylindrical section, and a flange section formed proximate the bottom of the cylindrical section. A trigger can be positioned within a recess formed in the elongate cylindrical section. The flange can extend outwardly from the elongate cylindrical section a greater distance than the trigger to prevent damage to the trigger if the handle falls to the ground. The bulbous section can have an oblate spheroid shape, and a gripping band that provides a comfortable grip to the user and helps prevent the handle from slipping when leaned against a wall. The handle can be utilized on a cleaning implement, such as a liquid dispensing mop.

A dripping mop includes a mop head and a mop pole. A dripping control assembly is provided on the mop pole, and includes an inlet conduit, an outlet valve, an outlet conduit, a dripping on/off switch and a dripping limiting switch. The dripping on/off switch has an on state and an off state. In the on state, the mop pole receives a force and displaces towards the mop head to trigger the outlet valve, such that a cleaning liquid is constantly provided for dripping through the outlet conduit. In the off state, the mop pole in the on state again receives a force and displaces towards the mop head to close the outlet valve to suspend the dripping. The dripping limiting switch is rotatable relative to the mop pole, and restrains the mop pole from displacing towards the mop head.

A cleaner includes a nozzle assembly, a cleaner body coupled to the nozzle assembly, and a water cleaning device coupled to the nozzle assembly. The water cleaning device includes a water tank that is configured to hold a cloth and that defines a water storage area and an air hole, and a control device that is configured to open or close the air hole and that includes a movable member located outside of the water storage area and configured to move between a first position and a second position to open or close the air hole.
