CLEANING TOOL HAVING SELECTIVELY DEPLOYABLE AUXILIARY CLEANING ELEMENT
A cleaning tool for cleaning a surface includes an elongated handle having a working end, a user end opposite the working end, and a hollow interior extending to the working end. The cleaning tool includes a principal cleaning head mounted on the working end of the handle. The tool includes an elongated shaft slidably received in the hollow interior of the handle. The elongated shaft has a top end positioned inside the hollow interior between the working end and the user end of the handle. The tool includes an auxiliary cleaning head mounted on the bottom end of the shaft. The shaft is selectively slidable relative to the handle to move the auxiliary cleaning head to a deployed position in which the auxiliary cleaning head extends farther from the handle than the principal cleaning head.
Applicator device
