Patent ID: 7398576

Claim:
A combination sponge mop and scrubber for cleaning a surface, comprising: a housing; a pair of rollers mounted on the housing with a roller disposed on each side of a sponge, at least one of the rollers supporting a scrubber brush, the rollers configured to squeeze the sponge when the sponge is retracted into the housing, the rollers automatically rotated via a frictional engagement with the sponge to move the scrubber brush into a deployed position to scrub the cleaning surface as the sponge is retracted, a generally flat surface of at least one of the rollers engages the sponge while the scrubber brush is in the deployed position so as to maintain the scrubber brush in a substantially fixed position, and at least one stop member attached to at least one of the rollers, the stop member configured to engage the housing when the sponge is retracted between the rollers and the scrubber brush is in the deployed position, so as to limit the rotation of the rollers, wherein said scrubber brush is automatically deployed whenever the sponge is squeezed to discharge liquid therefrom.
