<p>A device (30) for cleaning floors or other hard surfaces is disclosed. The device includes a roller (32), a shear member (34) and a pump (38). The cylindrical surface of the roller contacts a hard surface (66) as it is being cleaned. The roller has an absorbent outer surface (64) 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 (370). The shear member selectively contacts 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.</p> |
