A floor cleaning system having a flat headed mop is provided. The system includes a bucket having a plurality of compartments. At least one compartment is provided for cleaning the flat headed mop to remove dirt and debris accumulated during use. A second compartment is provided for recharging the mop pad with fluid. At least one wringer device is operably coupled to one of the plurality of compartments. The at least one wringer device having an extractor element to remove at least a portion of fluid from the mop pad.

Improved folding broom-cleaning-storage apparatus for cleaning are provided. The folding broom-cleaning-storage apparatus comprises components to form a variety of broom configurations. The apparatus comprises folding components which may be assembled and disassembled quickly and simply. The apparatus comprises a case which may be used as a separate dustpan, and which may be connected to the broom configurations for use, and which may store the broom components when the broom components are disassembled. The apparatus may comprise shaped bristles, which may be arranged in layers, and offer improvements in efficiency when used.

A method of using a flat headed mop is provided. The method includes cleaning a surface with the mop pad, then rotating the mop head into the folded position at a instance with a biasing member coupled to a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly being disposed between the mop head and a mop pole. Next, inserting the mop head into a first fluid to remove contaminants from the mop pad, then inserting the mop head into a wringing assembly to remove at least a portion of the first fluid.

A foldable cosmetic implement may include a first portion pivotably coupled to a second portion. An applicator may be coupled to the first portion opposite a connection of the first portion to the second portion. The cosmetic implement may be movable between a stored state and an extended state. The first portion may be at least partially enclosed in a receptacle of the second portion when the cosmetic implement is in the stored state. The cosmetic implement may include a locking mechanism to retain the implement in the stored state. The locking mechanism may be actuated by squeezing first and second sides of the second portion towards each other.

The present invention relates to a toothbrush and, more particularly, to a toothbrush produced by providing soft bristles on a side of a solid bar and capable of easily and simultaneously cleaning a total of six surfaces, e.g., upper and lower flat surfaces, upper left and upper right side surfaces, and lower left and lower right side surfaces, of teeth based on a simple user operation of grasping the toothbrush with a hand.

A foldable broom including a head assembly and a broomstick assembly is disclosed. The broomstick assembly includes a handle having double hinge mechanisms thereon to allow the foldable broom to easily and quickly expand or collapse along the double hinge mechanisms to achieve an open or closed configuration respectively. The closed configuration allows the foldable broom to save space and easily be stored in smaller areas or locations.

Extendable cleaning tools are described. The tools include a plurality of pole elements, wherein the plurality of pole elements include an innermost pole element and an outermost pole element, wherein the innermost pole element is moveable relative to the outermost pole element in an axial direction and the innermost pole element and the outermost pole element are not rotatable relative to each other, a clamp arranged at an end of the outermost pole element and configured to selectively engage with a pole element of the plurality of pole elements arranged within the outermost pole element, and a working head assembly attached to an end of the innermost pole element.

A floor cleaning system and a method of cleaning a floor are provided. The cleaning system includes a flat headed mop. The system also includes a frame and at least one compartment removably coupled to the frame. A wringing assembly is fluidly coupled to the at least one compartment, the wringing assembly comprising a fixed extractor element and at least one roller movable from a first position when the mop head is being inserted to a second position when the mop head is being withdrawn.

A handheld bottle washer having a handheld body with two flexible opposing sidewalls joined together at a lower joint and at an upper joint and each having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the two flexible opposing sidewalls define an enclosed washing aperture with a center diameter separating two opposing inner surfaces of each of the opposing two flexible opposing sidewalls and each of the two flexible opposing sidewalls operably configured to have a static position defining an arcuate shape spanning in a longitudinal direction and a dynamic biased cleaning position with the two opposing sidewalls flexed together inwardly toward the enclosed washing aperture and with a length of the center diameter less than a length of the center diameter when in the static position, and having a plurality of bristles disposed on and radially extending outward from the outer surfaces of each of the two opposing sidewalls.
