Abstract

The present invention relates to a floor cleaning tool. In one embodiment the floor cleaning tool comprises a backing and a handle. The backing comprises a first surface and a second surface. The handle is attached to the second surface of the backing apparatus. The backing has a generally triangular perimeter having a first edge, a second edge, and a third edge. A portion of the first edge is curved and a portion of the second edge is curved. The first edge and second edge meet at a leading point. The third edge is concave. The floor cleaning tool is capable of supporting a wipe.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to cleaning implements. More particularly, the present invention relates to floor cleaning implements capable of supporting wipes. Background technique [0002] Consumers use various types of floor cleaning implements to clean floors. Brooms and mops are examples of such tools. Brooms are effective at cleaning corners because the bristles reach deep into the corners and pull out the dirt. However, a broom by itself cannot pick up dirt and debris and cannot remove dirt and debris stuck to the floor. [0003] Fabric mop heads are another type of floor cleaning tool with string or yarn sticking out of the mop head. The floor cleaning implement may also have a sponge mop head. Both types of cleaning tools are capable of retaining water. Typically, the user must use a separate chemical cleaning product and water to clean the floor. Using separate cleaning products can be cumbersome and require consumers to store crude ch...
