Benefits of technology

[0003] This disclosure relates to a cleaning apparatus and a method of cleaning a contaminated surface, and in particular, to a cleaning apparatus having a plurality of cleaning surfaces wherein the cleaning apparatus removeably attaches to a conventional spray bottle while allowing access to a spray nozzle of the spray bottle.

Problems solved by technology

This configuration, however, leads to a non-uniform distribution of the cleaning solution within the sponge pad since the sponge prevents the stream of discharged cleaning solution from dispersing upon leaving the spray nozzle.

Embodiment Construction

[0014] The following detailed description illustrates the disclosure by way of example and not by way of limitation. The description clearly enables one skilled in the art to make and use the disclosure, describes several embodiments, adaptations, variations, alternatives, and uses of the disclosure, including what is presently believed to be the best mode of carrying out the disclosure.

[0015] Referring now to the drawings, a cleaning apparatus 10 constructed according to the principles of the present disclosure is shown. The cleaning apparatus 10 is particularly adapted for removeably attaching to conventional spray bottles 12 that use a spray nozzle 14 (FIG. 1). These spray nozzles 14 extend from a bottle top 16 of the spray bottle 12 to discharge cleaning solution 18 onto a contaminated surface 20. The spray nozzle 14 operatively connects with the cleaning solution 18 via a spray tube 22 as commonly known. The cleaning apparatus 10 of the present disclosure comprises a housing 2...

Abstract

A cleaning apparatus and method of cleaning. The cleaning apparatus comprises a housing having a base, a neck and a handle disposed between the base and neck. The base includes a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion further has a first section and a second section, which are angled with respect to each other. The neck has a top, a bottom, opposing sides wherein one side of the opposing sides includes an access aperture defined therethrough and another side of the opposing sides includes a discharge aperture defined therethrough. The access aperture and the discharge aperture define a channel through the neck wherein the neck removeably attaches to the top of the spray bottle to position the spray nozzle within the channel. A user accesses and activates the spray nozzle through the access aperture of the neck and the spray nozzle in response discharges the cleaning solution through and beyond the discharge aperture of the neck onto the contaminated surface.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority to U.S. patent application No. 60 / 720,629 filed Sep. 26, 2005 and is incorporated herein by reference.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH [0002] Not Applicable BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE [0003] This disclosure relates to a cleaning apparatus and a method of cleaning a contaminated surface, and in particular, to a cleaning apparatus having a plurality of cleaning surfaces wherein the cleaning apparatus removeably attaches to a conventional spray bottle while allowing access to a spray nozzle of the spray bottle. [0004] Conventional spray bottles use a nozzle assembly to discharge cleaning solution from the interior of the spray bottle to a contaminated surface. The user activates the nozzle by pressing a finger on the spray nozzle. Some spray bottles position a sponge pad in front of the spray nozzle or in contact with the nozzle. Upon activation, in these bottles, the spray nozzle discharg...
