A device, system and method is disclosed for removing residues from surfaces and for applying materials to surfaces. The device system and method of the instant invention utilize a squeegee configuration with a first continuous squeegee edge. Preferably, the first continues squeegee edge protrudes from a squeegee support element with squeegee walls that extend in all directions of a wiping plane. Within the boundary formed by the first continuous squeegee edge there are preferably additional cleaning elements such as bristles, sponges and/or additional squeegees. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, a second squeegee edge protrudes from the inner squeegee region of the first continuous squeegee edge to form a squeegee compartment. Cleaning solutions and other materials are applied to surfaces by placing the solutions or materials into the squeegee compartment and wiping the surface with the squeegee edges. Alternatively, a cleaning medium is delivered from a source the surface through a squeegee configuration apertures for facilitating the dispensing the cleaning medium on to the surface.
A device comprising a set of elongated squeegee members, wherein a first elongated squeegee member is a continuous squeegee member that forms an inner squeegee region and an outer squeegee region and which protrudes with a continuous protruding squeegee cleaning edge and a second elongated squeegee member is positioned within the inner squeegee region, the second squeegee member being, non-concentric to the first elongated squeegee member.
A device comprising a wiping portion comprising a plurality of squeegee compartments enclosed by squeegee walls wherein at least one of the plurality of squeegee compartments is non-circular and wherein a portion of the squeegee walls form a boundary between at least two of the plurality of squeegee compartments.
A cleaning device comprising a wiping section configured for wiping surfaces, the wiping section comprising an elongated squeegee member with a first squeegee edge protruding in at least one protruding direction, wherein the first squeegee edge is continuous and forms an inner squeegee region, the device further comprising an elongated handle coupled to the wiping section and extending in at non-parallel direction with the at least one protruding direction of the first squeegee edge.
A method of cleaning a surface comprising the steps of:
