A cleaning implement having a liquid delivery system, includes a handle with first and second ends, a cleaning head member attached to the handle at the first end, and a sprayer nozzle preferably attached to the cleaning head member, independent of the handle, for providing increased directional control of the sprayer nozzle.

A quick disconnect has a first member having an outlet with at least one passageway, an umbrella valve movably attached within the outlet for sealing the passageway, and a second member having an inlet with at least one finger which releasably engages the passageway and displaces the umbrella valve when the first and second members are removably engaged, thereby unsealing the umbrella valve from the passageway and allowing open communication from the outlet to the inlet.

A decoupled liquid delivery system positioned within a housing for dispensing a liquid from a liquid filled canister includes a cylinder having an inlet for receiving the liquid and an outlet for dispensing the liquid, a piston moveably engaging the cylinder for exerting pressure on the liquid when the piston is actuated, a compression spring connected to the piston and the housing, and a recoil spring connected to the piston and the housing to prevent the piston from moving prior to actuation. The piston is actuated by disengaging the recoil spring from the piston which allows the compression spring to exert a force on the piston, thereby enabling the piston to exert a pressure on the liquid within the cylinder and dispense the liquid from the outlet.
