Claims
- 1. A device for cleaning a carpet or a hard surface, comprising a brush having a round surface area that is pushed over a surface to clean said surface, wherein said brush surrounds an axle that is attached to two wheels and each said wheel contains a bearing configured to permit rotation of said brush with said axle independent of said wheels, and wherein said bearing is configured to permit locking of said axle in place at a rotary position of said brush so that said brush does not rotate in either direction when said axle is locked while said brush is pushed over said surface.
- 2. The cleaning device of claim 1, wherein said bearing is configured to permit rotation of said brush to at least one other rotary position of said brush such that another portion of said brush contacts said surface after said brush is rotated.
- 3. The cleaning device of claim 1, 2, wherein a portion of said brush contacts said surface as said brush is pushed across an area of said surface in a substantially reciprocating motion.
- 4. The cleaning device of claim 1, 2, wherein said device agitates a cleaning solution that has been previously applied to said surface to accomplish cleaning of said surface. such that another portion of said brush contacts said surface after said bruch is rotated.
- 5. The cleaning device of claim 4, wherein said cleaning solution consists of a dry powder.
- 6. The cleaning device of claim 4, wherein said cleaning solution is comprised of a chemical mixture suitable for removing debris.
- 7. The cleaning device of claim 6, wherein said cleaning solution consists of a dry powder.
- 8. The cleaning device of claim 6, wherein said cleaning solution consists of a substantially neutral Ph dry crystalline formula.
- 9. The cleaning device of claim 1, 2, wherein said device expels a cleaning solution that has been previously applied to said surface to accomplish cleaning of said surface.
- 10. The cleaning device of claim 9, wherein said cleaning solution consists of a dry powder.
- 11. The cleaning device of claim 9, wherein said cleaning solution is comprised of a chemical mixture suitable for removing debris.
- 12. The cleaning device of claim 11, wherein said cleaning solution consists of a substantially neutral Ph dry crystalline formula.
- 13. The cleaning device of claim 11, wherein said cleaning solution consists of a dry powder.
- 14. The cleaning device of claim 1, 2, wherein said brush is removable from said cleaning device.
- 15. A device for cleaning a carpet or a hard surface, comprising a brush having a round surface area that is pushed over a surface to clean said surface, wherein said brush is bolted directly to non-rotating wheels, wherein said wheels provide a clearance between said brush and said surface as said brush is pushed over said surface.
