Abstract
Abstract A combination cleaner, polisher and waxing device for walls and floors which includes an elongated handle having a pad carrier connected to the handle at one end thereof. One side margin of the pad carrier is weighted so as to permit the carrier to assume a generally vertical position for wall cleaning when held spacedly above the floor by the handle. The handle carries a liquid dispenser means which is connected by a conduit to the carrier and which serves to dispense a liquid into the pad of the carrier for use upon the wall or floor. The handle of the device is preferably of a two-piece construction which enables an auxiliary cleaning tool to be attached to the detachable handle piece when separated from the remainder of the handle.
