[0029] The operation process of the cleaning tool of this embodiment is as follows: when the operating rod is connected to the wiping cloth for cleaning, the operator holds the handle and inserts the cleaning part into the slot hole of the shell, and the wiping cloth placed therebetween can be squeezed and deformed by the cleaning part and wrapped in the cleaning part by the friction between the cleaning part and the slot hole. At the same time, after the cleaning part enters the shell, it is frictioned to cause the pressed handle to move closer, so that the clamp can clamp the wiping cloth connected and wrapped in the cleaning part. When the above-mentioned handle moves close to the cleaning part, the clamping end of its switch part is frictioned with the cleaning part and moves to the clamping position so that the clamping state is clamped and locked; in the process of the operating rod to make the wiping cloth detachable, the operator holds the handle and operates the unlocking end of the switch part to make the clamping end tilt up and withdraw from the clamping of the cleaning part. Then the cleaning part moves away from the handle by spring A so that the clamp opens and the wiping cloth can be detached.

[0030] Because the operating rod of the utility model is combined with the housing, the wiper disposed therebetween is squeezed, deformed, and wrapped around the cleaning portion. Simultaneously, the clamping device is driven to clamp the wiper wrapped around the cleaning portion and connect it to the operating rod for use. This cleaning tool has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and reduces the cost of replacing and cleaning the wiper. The wiper wrapped around the cleaning portion can be used for multi-directional cleaning, achieving excellent cleaning results. The suction cup is connected to the housing via a detachable structure, which facilitates replacement of the suction cup if damaged. This product is suitable for cleaning a variety of applications, such as tables, walls, and preferably, toilets.

[0031] The above embodiments are only examples of the present invention. Any replacement or combination of the embodiments made according to the spirit of the present invention should be understood as not departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
