A mounting assemblyfor mounting a roller brushonto a cleaning apparatus includes a mounting flangeand an end capinterconnected together by extension springsspanning therebetween. An idle shaftis slidably mounted in the mounting flangeby a bearing interfaceThe distal end of the idle shaftis fixed to the end capso that the springsthat urge the end capinto engagement with the mounting flangealso bias the idle shaft to extend forwardly of the mounting flange while also permitting the idle shaft to retract to facilitate assembly and disassembly of the roller brush with the mounting assemblyThe bearing interfaceis designed to permit the projecting proximal end of the idle shaft to tilt upwardly to facilitate engagement with and disengagement from the roller brush
