The present concept a cleaning device comprises; a pole assembly adapted to be detachably connected to a pole end; a head assembly adapted to be detachably connected to a pad; a resilient joint connected at a pole portion to the pole assembly and at a head end to the head assembly, wherein the resilient joint includes a flexible neck disposed between the pole end and the head end. The cleaning device is moveable between a normally retracted position and an extended position, wherein the retracted position the pole assembly pivots about the flexible neck relative the head assembly. The resilient joint further includes a pin channel which extends through the flexible neck, and the pole assembly includes an actuator attached to a plunger pin, whereby selectively urging the actuator longitudinally downward urges the plunger pin downward to extend through the flexible neck into the extended position, such that the plunger pin prevents pivoting of the flexible neck and thereby locks the position of the pole assembly relative to the head assembly in an upright position.

A cleaning pad structure of stitch bonded construction incorporating one or more substrate layers of an absorbent nonwoven material with an optional additional fluid blocking substrate layer of polymer film or other suitable material in juxtaposed relation to the absorbent nonwoven layers. Stitching yarns are introduced in stitching relation through the substrate layers. One face of the pad defines a cleaning surface of raised yarn loops formed by the stitched yarns. The pad further includes an attachment surface facing away from the cleaning surface. The stitches of yarns across the attachment surface define an engagement surface for attachment to cooperating hooking elements across a surface of a mop head to define a hook and loop attachment system.

A nonwoven sheet, having a first outwardly facing surface and a second outwardly facing surface. Wax is disposed in a wax pattern on the first surface; and oil is disposed in an oil pattern on the second surface. The oil pattern is not coincident the wax pattern so that wax blocks the oil from permeating through to the first surface. The first surface may be textured with peaks and valleys, having wax disposed on the peaks. This arrangement keeps the oil from contacting the target surface and leaving residue, while allowing the oil to collect and retain debris. The sheet may be executed as a dry sheet for cleaning surfaces such as floors or as a duster.

A cleaning robot includes a main body, a drive assembly and a cleaning assembly. The main body includes a bottom part. The cleaning assembly includes a mounting part, a wiping part and a release part. The mounting part is positioned on the bottom part. The mounting part includes a first rail, a second rail, and a first positioning part. The wiping part is positioned on the mounting part and includes a second positioning part, the wiping part is movable from first ends of the first rail and the second rail to second ends thereof until the second positioning part abuts against the first positioning part whereby the wiping part is fixed on the mounting part. The release part is positioned on the mounting part and configured to separate the second positioning part from the first positioning part whereby the wiping part is detached from the mounting part.
