The Ceiling Debris Collection Bin is a receptacle with a wide opening that facilitates the nearly complete collection of acoustic ceiling debris removed by the Popcorn Ceiling Scraper—U.S. Pat.

The makers this Scraper recommend use of a plastic trash bag for collection of debris but a trash bag is not efficient enough, being limited to an opening defined by the scraper's flexible band. The new Ceiling Debris Collection Bin is very efficient owing to the flared side design. Debris that flies all over and might escape collection by a trash bag would be captured by this uniquely designed Ceiling Debris Collection Bin with nearly three times the collection area. The collapsible wings of the bin accommodate the flexible metal band of the Popcorn Ceiling Scraper, so that the Scraper can be pushed up to where the ceiling meets the wall. 1.

A scrubbing apparatus for scrubbing debris off a surface comprises a handle having a grip area on a first end, a support extension extending from the handle from a second end and a receiver for a bottle cap at a distal end of the support extension. The apparatus uses recycled bottle caps as a scraping or scrubbing surface. The apparatus gives the user a mechanical advantage over trying to grasp a bottle cap for the same use. The apparatus allows the user to get their hand a safer distance from a rough, dirty, wet, hot or cold surface while scraping or scrubbing the surface.

The invention relates to a manually operable floor cleaning tool. I have found the most effective way to clean floors is by hand with a wet cloth. The unique design of the Bromop enables a wet cloth to be used effectively without the user having to bend or kneel to do so. Additionally, previous similar inventions such as the Swiffer are improved by incorporating a broom head and dustpan into the design, and using re-useable cleaning cloths instead of disposable cleaning wipes. Water consumption is a concern for many people throughout the world and the Bromop requires on average 95% less water to clean the same amount of square footage compared with sponge mops. Laminate flooring is prone to warping when it gets wet and the Bromop eliminates that issue by leaving minimal water on the cleaned surface after cleaning, which in turn lowers the required dry time. 1. a manually operable floor cleaning tool in which a broom head and a mop base are attached together with a hinged broomstick apparatus.2. a manually operable floor cleaning tool , as described above , in which the hinged broom stick can lock into position for utilization as a broom , or unlock for use as a mop.3. a tool as described above in which the hinge and lock apparatus are covered with a custom fit dustpan.4. a tool as described above that uses hook and loop fasteners on the base of the mop to attach the custom cleaning pads to the mop base.5. a tool as described above in which the top side of the mop base has barbs to attach common household cloths instead of the included custom cleaning pads.
