ABSTRACT:
A device for cleaning floors or other hard surfaces is disclosed. The device includes a roller, a shear member, and a pump. The cylindrical surface of the roller contacts a hard surface as it is being cleaned. The roller has an absorbent outer surface adapted to scrub the hard surface and remove a waste fluid from the hard surface. The shear member may take various forms, such as a fixed blade or a squeeze roller. The shear member selectively contacts the absorbent outer surface of the roller and channels away a fluid previously absorbed in the absorbent outer surface of the roller. The pump conveys away a fluid removed from the roller by the shear member. The device may be used much like a mop for cleaning floors, and is particularly suited for residential use by consumers.
