A cleaning apparatus is comprised of an elongate handle and a cleaning head at one end of the handle. The cleaning head includes a pair of panels that can be moved relative to each other. The panels support a micro fiber cleaning pad. The cleaning pad can be released from the panels after use without manually touching the pad, thereby enabling disposal of a contaminated cleaning pad while reducing the potential for cross contamination to a user of the apparatus.

Microfiber cleaning apparatus with cleaning pad removal feature

A latch assembly of the present invention comprises a link member and a latch body. The latch assembly is adapted for use with a storage container having a container body and a container lid connected to the container body. The container lid is connected to the container body in a manner to permit movement of the lid between open and closed positions relative to the container body. The link member is moveably connected to the container body. The latch body includes at least one lug and at least one retaining arm. The lug is integral with the latch body and has a lug recess adapted for receiving a first portion of the link member in a manner to permit pivoting movement of the link member relative to the lug. The retainer arm is integral with the latch body and is adapted for engaging the link member in a manner to prevent the link member from being released from the lug recess. The latch assembly is adapted for movement relative to the container body between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the latch assembly is in its locked position, the latch assembly engages the container body and the lid in a manner to maintain the lid in its closed position. When the latch assembly is in its unlocked position, the latch assembly is disengaged from the lid to permit movement of lid toward its open position.
