Cleaning mop frames structurally configured to provide a more even distribution of floor soil across a surface of a wiper attached to such mop frames are provided. The mop frames include a central body portion, a top surface, a bottom surface, opposed side edges, and opposed front and rear edges. The mop frame may also include at least one retaining structure configured to releasably attach a cleaning fabric proximate to or adjacent to at least the bottom surface of the mop frame. Cleaning implements including a mop frame, a yoke assembly, and a multi-pivoting hinge attached to and connecting the mop frame and the yoke assemble are also provided. The multi-pivoting hinge being configured to allow the yoke assembly to selectively swing from a top surface to a bottom surface of the mop frame or vice versa.

A cleaning element includes a fiber assembly having a plurality of fibers extending in a predetermined direction and a nonwoven fabric provided on the fiber assembly. A first fusion bonded part extends in a cross direction traversing the predetermined direction to fusion-bond the fiber assembly and the nonwoven fabric, and a plurality of second fusion bonded parts is provided discontinuously in the cross direction to fusion-bond the fiber assembly and the nonwoven fabric. Each of the second fusion bonded parts has a first area and a second area. A length in the predetermined direction from the first fusion bonded part to the first area is different from a length in the predetermined direction from the first fusion bonded part to the second area.

The invention is directed to an elevator track cleaner. The track cleaner is provided in a rectangular scrub brush configuration, providing a platform with a raised handle affixed to the top surface. The bottom surface provides a longitudinal band of stiff, flexible bristles along the centerline, and two longitudinal bands of small hooks on either side of the bristles for the purpose of securing a flexible white scrub pad. The pad is used to scrub the elevator track, with the bristles urging the pad into the groove where the track is located.

A combined cleaning-pad and squeegee-wiper trowel assembly suitable for a natural wrist-controlled hand-held action to wash and dry a counter or tabletop surface more efficiently (quickly, and with less paper waste generation). The cleaning-pad permanently or temporarily adheres to a trowel base having a squeegee-wiper extending substantially parallel to the base of this assembly and substantially perpendicular to its central handle. The spacing between cleaning pad and squeegee-wiper, and the angle of the latter relative to the surface being dried therewith are critical to this invention. A method for using this combination cleaning-drying trowel is also disclosed.

The telescoping back tool kit is a multipurpose tool. The telescoping back tool kit comprises a base apparatus, a plurality of heads, and a threaded connection. The threaded connection removably attaches a head selected from the plurality of heads to the base apparatus. The head forms the working element of the telescoping back tool kit. The purpose of the telescoping back tool kit is changed by interchanging two heads selected from the plurality of heads. The base apparatus is a mechanical structure used to adjust the span of the distance between a user of the telescoping back tool kit and head selected from the plurality of heads.
