A sweeping tool includes an elongated handle having a proximal end and a distal end, a bracket coupled to the distal end of the elongated handle, and a cleaning assembly coupled to the bracket. The cleaning assembly is designed to rotate about an axis passing through a portion of the bracket. The cleaning assembly includes a housing designed to hold a rotatable brush head and to collect debris swept up by the rotatable brush head. The cleaning assembly also includes a broom head coupled to the housing and a plurality of bristles coupled to the broom head.

Cleaning systems can remove pet hair from surfaces such as furniture and floors without requiring bulky and expensive vacuums. Hair cleaning systems can have an outer housing and a cylindrical basin that is coupled to the outer housing by a pivot. Features working in conjunction with slanted bristles enhance the efficacy of the cleaning systems.

A floor sweeper includes a housing which has a garbage cavity for containing garbage. The garbage cavity has an inlet allowing the garbage to enter the garbage cavity. A sweeping roller is disposed at the inlet of the garbage cavity, is rotatably connected to the housing and is able to sweep outside garbage into the garbage cavity. A sealing plate for opening/closing the inlet is disposed at the inlet of the garbage cavity. An ejector rod is vertically and movably connected to the housing, has an upper end connected to the sealing plate and is able to move vertically to drive the sealing plate to move. When floor sweeper cleans a floor, the ejector rod abuts against the floor and moves upwards to drive the sealing plate to move to open the inlet of the garbage cavity.

The present disclosure provides a surface cleaning apparatus that includes a steam delivery system for steam mopping a floor surface after sweeping dry dirt, dust, hair, and other debris from the floor surface. The surface cleaning apparatus can be configured to perform multiple cleaning functions, including dry sweeping and steam mopping. The surface cleaning apparatus can have a steam vent for venting a portion of the steam from a brush chamber.

A surface cleaning apparatus adapted for movement across a surface to be cleaned. The surface cleaning apparatus can dock within a storage tray and charge a power supply. Electrical contacts on the surface cleaning apparatus and the storage tray can be shielded when the surface cleaning apparatus is not docked within the storage tray. Furthermore, the storage tray can include a reservoir for a self-cleaning mode.

The present invention provides a manual cleaning tool that enables suppression of plastic deformation (permanent deformation) such as bending when a roller brush is removed. The present invention includes a roller brush (7) provided in a frame main body (15). The roller brush (7) includes a rigid shaft (46), a pair of guide rollers (47, 48), which are arranged concentrically with a shaft center line (G) of the rigid shaft (46), and are mounted to shaft ends (46A, 46B) of the rigid shaft (46), and a cleaning brush cloth (49) including cut piles (52) raised from a cloth front surface (51A) of a foundation cloth (51). The cleaning brush cloth (49) is helically wound around a shaft outer-peripheral surface (46C) of the rigid shaft (46) with a cloth back surface (51B) of the foundation cloth (51) being in contact with the shaft outer-peripheral surface (46C), and is fixed to the rigid shaft. The roller brush (7) is removable from the frame main body (15) under an elastically deformed state of the rigid shaft (46). The shaft ends (46A, 46B) of the rigid shaft (46) are pivotably supported by the frame main body (15).

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.
