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 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.

A ride on toy (10) comprising a vehicle body (12) having front and rear wheels (18). A seat (16) is provided on an upper surface of the body (120 on which a child can sit and a cleaning unit (14) is releasably secured to the vehicle body. The cleaning unit (14) is secured to the vehicle body (12) between the front and rear wheels (18) and includes a housing (38) having an internal chamber (46) such that the cleaning unit (14) picks up particulate matter from the floor while the toy (10) is moving and deposits it into the internal chamber (46).

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.

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 cleaning apparatus according to one or more embodiment may include a moving body configured to move on a surface in a moving direction; and a cleaning unit provided in the moving body and is configured to clean the surface to be cleaned. The cleaning unit may include: an intake nozzle; an intake unit configured to suction in objects, along with air, from the surface to be cleaned through the intake nozzle; a collection container configured to separate the objects that are suctioned in and collect the objects in an inside of the collection container; an air discharge duct configured to guide air suctioned in by the intake unit from an air outlet of the intake unit to an inside of the cleaning unit; and a cover member that covers at least the air discharge duct, and is configured to form an internal space with the air discharge duct.

A multi-mode cleaning apparatus with suction may include a wand with a handle, a suction motor for providing suction, a bare floor unit configured to be movable by the wand and fluidly coupled to the suction motor, and a sweeper unit configured to be movable by the wand and fluidly coupled to the suction motor. The bare floor unit is configured for use in a suction only mode. The sweeper unit includes a rotatable brush roll and is configured for use in a brush roll only mode or a suction and brush roll mode.
