Abstract
A cleaning implement has a reservoir, a dispenser and a fluid transfer tube. The reservoir retains a cleaning fluid and preferably is attached to a collapsible handle. The dispenser is attached to the reservoir by a universal joint which comprises a ball and fork configuration. The fluid transfer tube is connected to the reservoir in open communication with the dispenser, wherein the fluid transfer tube is positioned within the ball of the universal joint to prevent the fluid transfer tube from becoming entangled with the universal joint.
