Abstract
A device for effecting general household cleaning comprises a main body member having a first longitudinal axis, with a portion of said main body member having a generally hollow handle portion defining a storage area. A head member is affixed to a first end of the main body member, and it has a second longitudinal axis. There is a brush at a second end of the main body portion, having an elongated spine and a plurality of bristles securely retained by the spine. The brush is connected in movable relation to the main body member, and is movable between an extended position and a retracted position. A sponge is securely retained on the head portion; and a resilient blade is also securely retained on the head portion and is adapted for wiping liquid from a surface. There is also a retaining member adapted for releasable attachment to the head member and further adapted to securely retain the sponge and the blade on the head member. Thus, the head and the retaining member are generally elongated and have opposed receiving surfaces adapted to receive and retain a portion of the sponge and the blade therebetween. The device further comprises a debris collection pan removable attached thereto by a further handle portion that clips onto the handle of the main body portion. The pan has a filtered spout, so liquids and solids collected in the pan may be separated by pouring off the liquid.
