Cleaning tool having selectively deployable auxiliary cleaning element

A cleaning tool for cleaning a surface, comprising:

• an elongated handle having a user end and a working end opposite the user end;
• a principal cleaning head mounted on the working end of the handle;
• an elongated shaft moveably attached to the handle, said shaft having a bottom end and a top end opposite the bottom end;
• a first auxiliary cleaning head selectively mountable on the bottom end of the shaft, said first auxiliary cleaning head having a plurality of flexible cleaning elements;
• a second auxiliary cleaning head selectively mountable on the bottom end of the shaft when the first auxiliary cleaning head is detached from the bottom of the shaft;
• and
• a compartment positioned in the handle between the user end and the shaft sized for receiving at least one head selected from said first auxiliary cleaning head and said second auxiliary cleaning head when detached from the bottom of the shaft to store said at least one head;
• wherein said first auxiliary cleaning head when mounted on the bottom end of the shaft is selectively moveable relative to the handle to a deployed position in which said first auxiliary cleaning extends farther from the handle than the principal cleaning head and a retracted position in which the principal cleaning head extends farther from the handle than said first auxiliary cleaning head;
• wherein said second auxiliary cleaning head when mounted on the bottom end of the shaft is selectively moveable relative to the handle to a deployed position in which said second auxiliary cleaning extends farther from the handle than the principal cleaning head and a retracted position in which the principal cleaning head extends farther from the handle than said second auxiliary cleaning head;
• and
• wherein said at least one head when selectively detached from the bottom of the shaft is selectively storable in the compartment positioned in the handle.

A broom for cleaning a surface, comprising:

• an elongated handle having a working end, a user end opposite the working end, and a hollow interior extending to the working end;
• a broom head mounted on the handle and having an opening aligned with the handle and a plurality of fibers arranged in a bundle;
• an elongated shaft slidably received in the hollow interior of the handle and extending through the opening in the broom head;
• an auxiliary cleaning head mounted on the shaft;
• and
• a tubular grip having opposite end openings sized for receiving the handle between the user end and the working end, the grip being operatively connected to the shaft and selectively slidable along the handle so that when the grip slides along the handle toward the working end the shaft slides relative to the handle to move the auxiliary cleaning head to a deployed position in which the auxiliary cleaning head extends farther from the handle than the broom head and when the grip slides along the handle toward the user end the shaft slides relative to the handle to move the auxiliary cleaning head to a retracted position in which the broom head extends farther from the handle than the auxiliary cleaning head.
