A vacuum cleaner is disclosed. The vacuum cleaner comprises: a suction nozzle including a rotating cleaner located in front of a suction port; a cleaning main body provided with a first motor that generates a suction force; and a distance sensor coupled to the suction nozzle. The distance sensor detects a distance from a wall surface located in front of the suction nozzle, and when the distance (distance value) is less than or equal to a reference value, the rotation speed of the first motor is increased. Accordingly, when the suction nozzle touches the wall surface and cannot move forward, the suction force is momentarily increased such that foreign substances such as dust can be effectively sucked in from the edge of the wall surface, and effective use of a battery can be achieved.

A cleaning sponge roller includes a cylindrical sponge body and a shaft-shaped core. The sponge body is formed of a porous material having continuous pores and having elasticity in a wet state. The core is inserted through an inner diameter portion of the sponge body and fixedly supports an inner circumferential surface of the sponge body. The core is formed of a porous sintered compact having continuous pores.

Improvements in a cleaning brush is disclosed. The cleaning tool has both a larger and smaller cleaning feature a single size cleaning tool to try and cover all uses is obviated. With a larger cleaning head, the larger cleaning head can be optimized for the rim surfaces of a toilet. The inner detailing head retracts into the outer cleaning tool. In the retracted mode the detailing head operates with the larger outer tool and provides a cohesive flat surface for cleaning. A spring can be used to retract the detailing head. The detailing head extends from the center, side or corner of the cleaning tool and extends far enough to allow for full use of the detailing head to effectively reach corners and/or cervices. The handle and or the head can be angled to provide an optimum angle for use.

A toothbrush having a detachable head portion is provided. The toothbrush includes a handle portion, a neck portion, and a head portion, and the head portion includes a first head portion and second head portion. The second head portion is detachable from the first head portion. The toothbrush further includes a button portion and an attachment/release mechanism. The button portion is actuatable to actuate the attachment/release mechanism to facilitate detachment of the second head portion from the first head portion.

A surface cleaning device for cleaning substantially vertical surfaces includes a plate, which is pivotally engaged to a first end of a rod so that the rod extends from a first face of the plate. The plate has a second face to which a pad can be removably engaged. A canister containing a cleaning solution under pressure engageable to a valve engaged to the plate. A plurality of nozzles is engaged to the first face of the plate and is operationally engaged to and in fluidic communication with the valve. The nozzles can spray the cleaning solution past a leading edge of the plate. An actuator is engaged to the rod proximate its second end and is operationally engaged to the valve. The actuator selectively actuates the valve to dispense the cleaning solution through the nozzles onto a substantially vertical surface proximate to the leading edge of the plate.

A toothbrush storage assembly for storing a toothbrush includes a pad that is comprised of a hydrophobic material to inhibit fluids from adhering to the pad. A lip is coupled to the pad to inhibit fluid from spilling off of the pad. A plurality of bristles is each coupled to and extends upwardly from the pad and a toothbrush can be scrubbed on the bristles for cleaning the toothbrush. The plurality of bristles is arranged to define on open area on the pad which accommodates a base of the toothbrush when the toothbrush is stood on the pad for storage.

Brushes for robotic or other automatic swimming pool cleaners may include circumferentially-spaced blades extending radially from cylindrical cores. The blades beneficially are not longitudinally continuous, however. Instead, some or all of the blades are discontinuous along the lengths of the cores, creating fluid-flow paths tending to reduce the pump blade effect when the cleaners are operating.

An interdental cleaner has a gripping portion (3) and a cleaning portion (4) formed by an elongate body made from a thermoplastic material. The cleaning portion (4) has a coating made of a self-adhesive, heat-vulcanized rubber material forming peripheral, flexible brush members (6).

The present invention is concerned with a skin treatment device, comprising a shaver handle housing, a detachable brush head pivotably supported by the shaver handle housing about at least one brush head pivot axis (I) and a gearing mechanism. The shaver handle housing comprises a drive unit for driving at least one drive pin in a rotatory oscillating manner with a first amplitude about an oscillation axis (II) which is at least substantially perpendicular to the at least one brush head pivot axis (I). The brush head comprises a brush rotatable about a brush axis (III) which is at least substantially perpendicular to the at least one brush head pivot axis (I). The brush comprises at least one driven element coupled to the at least one drive pin by means of the gearing mechanism, wherein the gearing mechanism translates the rotatory oscillating movement of the drive pin into a rotatory oscillating movement of the driven element with a second amplitude which is smaller than the first amplitude of the drive pin.

Various grill brushes and corresponding methods of use are disclosed. These grill brushes improve the effectiveness of use compared to existing designs. In certain variations, a wire brush is disclosed that includes a brush wire frame, multiple brush bristles coupled to the brush wire frame, and one or more donut brushes that are mounted on the brush bristles.
