A grout cleaning attachment configured for removably attaching to a shoe enables a user to scrub a grout line with their foot. The grout cleaning attachment includes a brush that extends out and away from a toe section of the shoe so that a person using the attachment can see where the brush bristles are and locate the brush over the grout line. The grout cleaning attachment includes a cup section that slides over the front section of the shoe and a strap on the aft section that wraps around the person's shoe and ankle to secure the grout cleaning attachment to the shoe. The grout cleaning attachment is light in weight and easy to install and remove from a shoe being worn by a person. The brush is narrow in width and long in length so that most of the bristles will be used to brush over the grout line. Also, the brush can be curved upward in order to improve the brushing performance for cleaning a grout line.

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.

Disclosed is a cleaning device with an auxiliary cleaner. More particularly, a cleaning device having an auxiliary cleaner includes a bar-shaped grip extending in a vertical direction, a rigid main cleaner having a tubular housing coupled to a bottom of the grip and a plurality of frames extending from a bottom of the housing and spaced apart from each other by a predefined spacing, and the auxiliary cleaner coupled to a bottom of the main cleaner, wherein the auxiliary cleaner contacts a cleaning target as the main cleaner deforms.

A sorptive wiper for cleaning is disclosed, the wipe comprising a cleaned and dried sorptive material having fewer than 150 contaminant fibers per square meter that are greater than 100 μm in length.
