A Spray Controlled Cleaning Apparatus provides a means for users of the spray controlled cleaning brush to clean and brush with a cleanser liquid without the need to carry another container for the liquid cleanser. The present invention combines the advantages of having an easy to use cleaning brush with a reservoir capable of holding the appropriate cleaning cleanser solvent for the particular cleaning task, and having the advantage of liquid ejection in a controlled spray pattern and amount desired. The operation of the spaying pump body is accomplished by pressing the pressing button, the pressure increases, the liquid within the pump body, which was pressured by the piston, is prevented from entering into sucking head by the one-direction-only valve and is sprayed out through the spraying head of the pump body. By releasing the pressing button, the piston returns to its original position under the effect of the spring. The pressure of the liquid within the pump body decreases. Under the negative pressure, the one-direction-only valve within the sucking head departs from sucking head, the liquid then is sucked into the pump body. The pathway of the one-direction-only valve of the spraying head is blocked. Repeating the same procedures will cause liquid to be sprayed to an object repeatedly and continuously. The amount of cleanser, detergent or other liquid is controlled by the number of times the pressing button is depressed. As the pressing button is released, the gasket seal cap slit is closed and no seepage of cleanser occurs. The brush head portion is interchangeable from bristles, to sponge, scouring pad, or any combination thereof by way of a screw.

The cutting device can be used to slice, make julienne strips, and/or dice food items. In dicing, preferably the horizontal slicer blade is retracted during a first pass of the slider past the julienne blades, and after the slider has been rotated by 90°, during a second pass, the horizontal blade is erected to make the horizontal cut and complete the dicing operation. A slicing width adjustment is provided with a large diameter threaded member being adjustable to support a movable platform, with an adjustable locking mechanism to support the end of the platform nearest the horizontal cutting blade.
