Abstract
A utensil for floor cleaning and other surface treatment purposes comprising a pad, e.g., of sponge releasably attached by clips to the handles of a hinged holder. The handles form a grip for enabling the utensil to be gripped for use, and also enable the hinged parts of the holder to be pressed together to squeeze the pad.
Claims19
A hand-held utensil for surface cleaning, mopping and the like, comprising a pad of surface-treatment material, and a holder for the pad, the holder comprising parts which are movable relative to one another from a first working position in which the pad is used in normal use of the utensil to a second position in which the parts squeeze the pad, the holder parts having respective handles adapted to be directly gripped by the user and to enable the user to move the parts from the first working position to the second position, and wherein the handles, in the first working position of the holder parts, cooperate to form a handle arrangement extending along the holder which serves as a grip to enable the user to hold the utensil.
