A waste-receiving device is for use with a sweeping device. The waste-receiving device includes a body, and the body includes a chamber configured to receive waste therein. An opening is coupled to the chamber, and the opening permits the sweeping device to enter into the chamber. A panel is disposed within the chamber, and the panel includes a plurality of apertures. The panel is configured to engage the sweeping device and the plurality of apertures are configured to receive a cleaning component carried by the sweeping device to facilitate separating waste from the cleaning component.

A cleaning tool includes a handle having a longitudinal axis and a cleaning device having a longitudinal axis. The cleaning device is releasably securable to the handle and is moveable between a first position where the longitudinal axis of the cleaning device is generally aligned with the longitudinal axis of said handle, and a second position where the longitudinal axis of the cleaning device is arranged at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the handle.

A brush apparatus has a handle, a first brush, a second brush and a third brush. The handle is located in between the first brush and the second brush, the handle is located in between the first brush and the third brush, the second brush and the third brush are located adjacent to each other, each of the first brush, the second brush and the third brush is laterally connected with the handle, the first brush has a plurality of first bristles, the plurality of first bristles are distributed in a hexagonal array, the second brush has a plurality of second bristles, the plurality of second bristles are distributed in a partial-radial array, the third brush has a plurality of third bristles, and the plurality of third bristles are distributed in a linear array.

A tool assembly includes an elongated handle and a locking system for attaching a tool head to the handle. The tool head can be a floor care tool or other accessory that can be attached to the handle such that the elongated length of the handle can aid in the use of the tool attached. The locking system includes a keyed locking collar for engaging at least a first portion of the tool head, and a locking cap rotatably positioned on the handle for engaging a second portion of the tool head. The handle can be extendable, such as by telescoping, and can also be overmolded.

A brush with bristles attached to multiple sides is designed to clean any gutter guard type that is manufactured today, including reverse curve type gutter guards. The brush has a main body of reverse-oriented bristles and accommodates an extension pole on the reverse side. When placed on top of the gutter guard, the brush can be pushed/pulled back and forth using the pole to dislodge any unwanted debris attached to the gutter guard's working surface. The use of the pole removes the need for a person to be on the roof when attempting to clean the gutter and/or gutter guard. With multiple bristle orientations, the brush can be used for other outdoor cleaning uses, such as house fixtures, structures, windows and so forth.

The present invention relates to a modular brush, with improved structure so that modular brush heads of various grades stored inside the storage compartment in the handle, are automatically exposed outwardly from the storage compartment, in connection with the cover opening movement. Thus, anybody can easily interchange one modular brush head with another. In particular, the modular brush is comprised mainly of a handle (10), cover (20), brush head portions (30), mounting portions (40), and lifting portions (50), so that by simple operation, the brush bristles in a gathered state retract into the ferrule tube of the brushhead for protection when not in use.

A bottle cleaning system, for cleaning baby bottles and other containers, includes a bottle cleaning device having several different sets of cleaning bristles. The bottle cleaning device generally includes a handle having a shaft, a first set of bristles mounted on a compressible sleeve and surrounding the shaft of the handle and a second set of bristles mounted on the shaft of the handle. The bottle cleaning device further includes an end cap at an end of the first set of bristle and having a through bore and an opening for passage of the second set of bristles. A biasing spring biases the end cap away from the handle to initially cover the second set of bristles. A third set of bristles is removable retained within a hollow channel in the handle.
