An adapter and method for a tool, a mop or other cleaning equipment provides, selectively, a universal joint or pivoting joint, and one that is easily adjustable.

A universal accessory for a plurality of vacuums comprises a hair trapping device, a square frame of telescoping tubes attaching to the vacuum, and a floor cleaning device. The universal accessory can be used to trap hair to prevent hair trapping in the vacuum brush roller. The universal accessory can also be used to enhance floor cleaning by picking up dirt that the vacuum has not picked up.

A cleaning apparatus includes a sheet of deformable material in the shape of a cylindrical shell segment when in a rest state, and a handle coupled to an outer surface of the sheet to apply a physical force to cause the shape of the sheet to transform to a contoured shape of a surface against which the sheet is pressed. An edge of the sheet may be curled to help guide the sheet over obstacles/contours. The handle may be connected to the sheet with a TU-type connector or a universal joint connector. The sheet may include, without limitation, a plastic, polypropylene, and/or low-density polyethylene (LDPE). The handle and/or connector may include high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The sheet may have a shape of a right cylindrical shell segment when in the rest state or an oblique cylindrical shell segment when in the rest state.

The present invention relates to a multifunctional scrubbing device for easily and comfortably scrubbing difficult to reach areas. The device includes an extensible handle having locking pins for retracting and extending the handle, a scrub head having scouring element or pad in the form of bristles or sponge and of different textures for scrubbing. The handle is pivotally coupled to the scrub head using a pivot lock to allow the handle to pivotally move relative to the scrub head. The handle has an ergonomic grip for easy handling and a ring hook for hanging the device on a wall-mounted hook when the device is not use. In one embodiment, the device has one or more cleaning solution storage reservoirs disposed in the scrub head for dispensing cleaning or other solutions on the scouring element or pad.

A cleaning apparatus is described. The cleaning apparatus includes a support member and a cleaning head. The support member includes a first portion having a length, a first end, an opposing second end and a handle disposed at the first end; a second portion having a first transition at the second end of the first portion and a second transition spaced from the first transition; a first support and a second support joining the first and the second transitions; and a liquid management system disposed, at least in part, between the first and second transitions. The liquid management system comprises a reservoir receiver. The cleaning head is moveably attached to the second transition. The support member exhibits a longitudinal angle of six degrees or less with respect to a horizontal plane. The cleaning apparatus exhibits a vertical height of less than 110 mm.

An anti-detachment device for the tabs for a cleaning cloth is associated with the relative base which is able to ensure they remain in place during the relative cleaning operations.

A mop self-lifting cleaning tool includes a mop and a mop bucket. The mop head of the mop includes a fixed plate and a lifting plate. The fixed plate is connected to the mop rod. The lifting plate is connected to the fixed plate. A gap is provided between the lifting plate and the fixed plate, where the gap is increasingly smaller from the center of the lifting plate to the periphery of the lifting plate. A drive member is located in the gap. When the drive member is located at an end with a larger space of the gap, the lifting plate is located at a low position; and when the mop head rotates, the drive member is configured to move toward the periphery under an action of a centrifugal force and drive the gap to increase so as to elevate the lifting plate to a high position.
