as discussed above , embodiments of the present invention relate to a cleaning device and more particularly to a modular cleaning system as used to improve the use of mops and brooms during cleaning . generally speaking , the present invention is a convenient way to combine a sponge to brooms and mops . the sponge may easily attach and detach from one broom or mop to another . the modular cleaning system for broom and mops allow a user to lower a connected sponge when desired . a plastic handle allows a user to lower and lift the sponge . the plastic handle is to be an add - on component and therefore not permanently connected to the stick , but rather can be connected and disconnected securely . modular cleaning system allows users to avoid carrying both a mop or broom and sponge . the modular cleaning system also eliminates the need for users to bend down and scrub the floor . the device is also able to work with a vacuum as an attachment on the front . the levered or telescopic device extends from the front of the vacuum in so - equipped embodiments . referring to the drawings by numerals of reference there is shown in fig1 - 4 , modular cleaning system 100 comprising : modular cleaning assembly 110 comprising rod 114 having proximate end 116 , distal end 118 , outer surface 120 , and inner volume 122 , telescopic member 130 , and cleaning - assembly 154 having first - cleaning - member 156 , second - cleaning - member 160 , and manipulating assembly 170 . modular cleaning system 100 comprises modular cleaning assembly 110 . modular cleaning assembly 110 comprises rod 114 , telescopic member 130 , cleaning - assembly 154 , and manipulating assembly 170 in functional combination . rod 114 is defined by proximate end 116 , distal end 118 , outer surface 120 , and inner volume 122 . cleaning - assembly 154 comprises first - cleaning - member 156 and second - cleaning - member 160 in functional combination . manipulating assembly 170 comprises lever 172 for allowing manipulation during use of first - cleaning - member 156 and alternately second - cleaning - member 160 . telescopic member 130 is able to be moved by manipulating assembly 170 ; telescopic member 130 able to traverse in relation to inner volume 122 of rod 114 between extended and retracted positions . first - cleaning - member 156 is able to be moved in relation to second - cleaning - member 160 via manipulating assembly 170 such that alternate use of first - cleaning - member 156 and second - cleaning - member is enabled 160 . first - cleaning - member 156 is fixed and occupies a position outside of second - cleaning - member 160 . second - cleaning - member 160 able to be moved into and out of first - cleaning - member 156 for desired use . modular cleaning system 100 is structured and arranged to provide a multi - functional means by which to clean surfaces . first - cleaning - member 156 comprises a broom 158 with bristles suitable for sweep cleaning surfaces . second - cleaning - member 160 comprises sponge 162 suitable for scrubbing while cleaning surfaces . distal end 118 comprises an aperture for telescopic member 130 to extend outwardly when manipulating assembly 170 is adjusted in relation to inner volume 122 of rod 114 . inner volume 122 of rod 114 comprises a housing for substantially supporting telescopic member 130 in relation to rod 114 . manipulating assembly 170 preferably comprises at least one spring 174 . spring 174 is used to store mechanical energy . lever 172 is able to manipulate spring 174 between extended and retracted positions . first - cleaning - member 156 and second - cleaning - member 160 are not used simultaneously . second - cleaning - member 160 comprises pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them . second - cleaning - member 160 comprises abrasives for scrub - cleaning surfaces . bristles are structured and arranged for cleaning of dry the surfaces . rod 114 of outer surface 120 comprises a tubular profile . inner volume 122 is formed as a periphery about telescopic member 130 ; outer surface 120 surrounding and forming inner volume . rod is non - flexible such that the telescopic member is able to freely and reliably travel within the inner volume 122 . modular cleaning system 100 may be sold as kit 440 comprising the following parts : at least one modular cleaning assembly 110 at least one first - cleaning - member 156 ; at least one second - cleaning - member 160 ; and at least one set of user instructions . the kit has instructions such that functional relationships are detailed in relation to the structure of the invention ( such that the invention can be used , maintained , or the like in a preferred manner ). modular cleaning system 100 may be manufactured and provided for sale in a wide variety of sizes and shapes for a wide assortment of applications . upon reading this specification , it should be appreciated that , under appropriate circumstances , considering such issues as design preference , user preferences , marketing preferences , cost , structural requirements , available materials , technological advances , etc ., other kit contents or arrangements such as , for example , including more or less components , customized parts , different cleaning combinations , parts may be sold separately , etc ., may be sufficient . referring now to fig5 showing flowchart 550 illustrating method of use 500 for modular cleaning system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention of fig1 - 4 . as shown , method of use 500 may comprise the steps of : step one 501 , holding rod 114 of modular cleaning assembly 110 ; step two 502 , manipulating lever 172 of modular cleaning assembly 110 to operate first - cleaning - member 156 to sweep and alternatively second - cleaning - member 160 to scrub for cleaning at least one surface ; and step three 503 , extending and retracting the second - cleaning - member 160 while the first - cleaning - member is fixed in relation to rod 114 . it should be noted that step three 503 , is an optional step and may not be implemented in all cases . optional steps of method of use 500 are illustrated using dotted lines in fig5 so as to distinguish them from the other steps of method of use 500 . it should be noted that the steps described in the method of use can be carried out in many different orders according to user preference . the use of “ step of ” should not be interpreted as “ step for ”, in the claims herein and is not intended to invoke the provisions of 35 u . s . c . § 112 , ¶ 6 . upon reading this specification , it should be appreciated that , under appropriate circumstances , considering such issues as design preference , user preferences , marketing preferences , cost , structural requirements , available materials , technological advances , etc ., other methods of use arrangements such as , for example , different orders within above - mentioned list , elimination or addition of certain steps , including or excluding certain maintenance steps , etc ., may be sufficient . the embodiments of the invention described herein are exemplary and numerous modifications , variations and rearrangements can be readily envisioned to achieve substantially equivalent results , all of which are intended to be embraced within the spirit and scope of the invention . further , the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the u . s . patent and trademark office and the public generally , and especially the scientist , engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology , to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application .
