Mop bucket
A mop bucket includes a mop body with first and second compartments. The first compartment includes a sump region that is sized for receiving a portion of a floor care tool to best utilize the floor care tool and the contents of the mop bucket. A wringer assembly is attached to the mop bucket for cleaning the floor care tool and separating used cleaning supplies from unused. The mop bucket can include an insert for receiving the used cleaning supply to more easily dispose of the same. Tool hooks and floor sign attachments can also be included with the mop bucket such that the bucket provides all tools for use thereof.
Cleaning tool
The present disclosure includes a head part to which a cleaning sheet is attached; and a handle part which is connected to the head part and which is for gripping by a user. The head part includes a top surface part which forms an upper surface side and to which the handle part is connected; and a bottom surface part which forms a lower surface side. The bottom surface part is formed to be freely attachable/detachable with respect to the top surface part. Due to this configuration, it is possible to provide a cleaning tool which can easily clean both low places such as a floor surface and high places such as a ceiling and the upper part of a wall.
SQUEEGEE WITH SELECTABLE ROTATION MODE
A cleaning device includes a handle, having a longitudinal axis, and a cleaning body, having a cleaning plane, arranged to contact and wipe a surface. The cleaning device also includes a first pivotal constraint arranged to allow a relative rotation between the handle and the cleaning body about a first rotation axis orthogonal to the cleaning plane and a second pivotal constraint arranged to allow a relative rotation between the handle and the cleaning body about a second rotation axis parallel to the cleaning plane. The cleaning device also includes a first selection mechanism arranged to make the first pivotal constraint to pass between a free rotation mode. The handle and the cleaning body can rotate freely to each other with respect to the first rotation axis, a locked rotation mode but cannot rotate to each other with respect to the first rotation axis and a constrained rotation mode.
Mop with Interchangeable Head Mechanisms
A mop with interchangeable head mechanism is an apparatus that facilitates the use of multiple mop heads with a single handlebar. The apparatus includes a handle shaft, an adapter neck, a retention bracket, at least one interchangeable head assembly, a first attachment mechanism, and a second attachment mechanism. The handle shaft allows a user to easily maneuver the at least one interchangeable head assembly from a distance. The adapter neck connects the retention bracket and the at least one interchangeable head assembly with the handle shaft. The retention bracket connects the at least one interchangeable head assembly with the adapter neck. The at least one interchangeable head assembly serves as the mop head. The first attachment mechanism locks and unlocks the handle shaft with the adapter neck. The second attachment mechanism locks and unlocks the at least one interchangeable head assembly with the retention bracket.

SPRAY MOP
The spray mop includes a handle having a mop head at its lower end and a grip at its upper end. The mop includes a receiver adapted to hold an inverted bottle of cleaning solution, as sold at retail with an attached sprayer. The mop includes an adapter that is screwed onto the bottle of cleaning solution after the original sprayer is removed, whereby the bottle of cleaning solution can be inverted and inserted into the receiver. A spring-loaded retainer securely holds the bottle of cleaning solution in the receiver so that if the mop is dropped, inverted, or bumped there will be no leakage, while a trigger on a handgrip at the upper portion of the mop handle activates a valve in the adapter whereby cleaning solution is dispensed through a spray nozzle at the lower portion of the receiver.
