A cleaning apparatus and related system is disclosed where the cleaning apparatus includes a one or more grabber that is actuated by a one or more slider such that the cleaning apparatus is moveable between a closed position and an open position. By moving the cleaning apparatus into the open position, a user is able to place the apparatus over a pad. Moving the apparatus into a closed position while over the pad causes the grabber to pinch the pad to the base, thereby securing it to the apparatus. When the user wishes to discard the pad, the apparatus is moved from the closed position to the open position, releasing the pad.

The present invention is a machine for treating a surface lying in an XY plane. The machine includes a body having a body plate, a cleaning plate, a cleaning pad, a drive assembly and an attachment assembly. The cleaning plate is located between the body plate and the XY plane. The drive assembly is connected to the cleaning plate to drive the cleaning plate with a cleaning vibration in an oscillating pattern parallel to the XY plane and producing a drive force for driving the machine over the XY-plane.

A wide area mop is a device that is utilized to clean a large surface area such as an indoor court. The device features a rectangular mop base onto which a grommeted foldable cleaning cloth is removably attached via a plurality of fasteners and a plurality of hook fasteners. The rectangular mop base is physically dragged along behind the user via a pull cord, allowing the grommeted foldable cleaning cloth to accumulate dirt and grime. A set of circular weight plates is placed atop the grommeted foldable cleaning cloth once the grommeted foldable cleaning cloth is folded onto and secured to the rectangular mop base. The set of circular weight plates is able to provide additional weight to the rectangular mop base and the grommeted foldable cleaning cloth, allowing the device to more effectively scrub a surface.
