A dust wand cleaner for dust wands that have radially-arrayed fibers that protrude to a define a generally cylindrical fiber head. The cleaner includes two open end sections and a midsection. Each end section has an internal passageway that preferably narrows from a first width that easily receives an inserted end of a generally cylindrical fiber head of a dust wand to a second width that compresses the fibers of the dust wand. The midsection has an internal passageway that is aligned with the internal passageways of the end sections, that is wider than the second width and that has inwardly extending bristles. When a dust wand is passed through the aligned passageways of the two open end sections and the midsection, debris adhering to the dust wand fibers is removed from the dust wand by being combed by the bristles.

The invention is directed to an ergonomic tool holder, adaptable to a conventional pole and having a handle and a supporting base. These are coupled to an interconnecting unit in a non-permanent manner. The coupling of the handle to the interconnecting unit and the coupling of the supporting base to the interconnecting unit allows the tool holder to be assembled, having the handle in straight or multiple angled positions with regard to the supporting base and wherein the tool may be held and positioned along the X-X, Y-Y, or Z-Z axes. A given conventional utensil used in working activities such as painting or maintenance may be clamped and secured on the supporting base. Thus, the User may position such utensils in the tool holder straight or in the angled position at their convenience and may change such positions easily and quickly.

An illuminated utility handle is disclosed and is configured for coupling to various household work toss, such a broom, a mop, a paint brush/roller, a squeegee, or the like. The illuminated utility handle is formed as an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end has a coupling for securing the work tool to the illuminated utility handle and one or more lights disposed along the elongate shaft. The one or more lights are oriented to illuminate a work surface operated on by the attachment. A battery source may be carried in the handle and a power switch is operable to selectively activate the one or more lights. The battery source may be recharged by a charging port.

A surface cleaning implement for use with an elongated handle is provided. The implement includes a largely rectangular and asymmetric body region with rounded outer edges, largely planar upper and lower surfaces, and upstanding contact material coextensively disposed thereon. The body region is a largely flattened structure having a first and second leading edge corner, the corners comprising where the leading edge of the body region transitions to the side edges. The first corner comprises a large, sweeping radius for cleaning curving and open surfaces. The second corner comprises a sharp corner having a small radius, chamfered, protuberant, or largely square corner wherein overly elongated and stiffened contact material extends therefrom for contacting surfaces within corners or within confined areas. The head region includes a back end having a handle receiving sheath and suitable support therefor, wherein an elongated handle is attached thereto for use away from the user's person.

Disclosed herein is a multipurpose cleaning kit which can easily clean hard-to-reach places inside an automobile or a tent during car camping, which is currently popular among people, or camping. The cleaning kit can easily clean hard-to-reach places inside an automobile, such as cracks of seats, by allowing a dustpan having a defrosting scraper integrally formed therewith to be easily assembled with or disassembled from a broom having a brush securely inserted into a handle thereof and adapted to remove dust from air vents inside the automobile (air vents of an air-conditioner) and cracks of the seats, and can be made compact enough to be stored in a pocket on the back of a front seat of the automobile when the broom and the dustpan are assembled together.

The invention relates to an apparatus for cleaning. The apparatus comprises a cleaning member adapted to engage a surface to be cleaned; a support member for supporting the cleaning member, with the cleaning member being resiliently movable between an extended position and a retracted position relative to the support member in response to an external force applied to the cleaning member; one or more engaging members provided at the support member; wherein the engaging members are adapted to engage the surface when the cleaning member is arranged at the retracted position such that further retraction of the cleaning member is substantially prevented.

A manual dusting tool incorporating a handle connected to an elongated bendable paddle member adapted for insertion into a textile sock structure for use in dusting hard-to-access surfaces. The bendable paddle member may be deformably bent in either one or two directions to adopt a curved or serpentine shape as may be desired for cleaning.

An electrostatic cleaning device includes: a static electricity generator configured to generate static electricity; a handle part connected to one side of the static electricity generator; and a cleaning tool adapted to be assembled to and disassembled from the static electricity generator. The static electricity generator includes a first electrified body part configured as a donut-shaped case and configured to deliver a negative charge to the cleaning tool; a belt rotatably installed in an inner space of the first electrified body part and configured to transfer the negative charge; and a second electrified body part configured to supply the negative charge to the belt.

An improved hand held apparatus used for dusting, cleaning, polishing, and similar tasks utilizing a lightweight conventional power drill having a rotating axle with a chuck to which is attached two or more elongated extension members telescoped within one another forming a gap between adjacent extension members into which at least one band fitted about one of the elongated extension member is positioned to reduce wobble in the adjacent extension member when the axle of the power drill causes the first extension member to rotate.
