Baseboard attachment cleaning device

Abstract

A baseboard attachment for a mop head that includes an elongated frame defining a front face and an opposite rear face and a circumferential rim. A ridge protrudes out and away from the front face of the frame and extends at least a portion of the elongated frame. A pair of mounting clips are positioned at or near opposite ends of the frame configured for detachably mounting to a mop head. The frame is configured to secure a cleaning device to cover at least the protruding ridge. The cleaning device can include a cleaning cloth and the like.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A baseboard attachment for a mop head, comprising:
 (a) an elongated frame defining a front face and an opposite rear face and a circumferential rim;   (b) a ridge protruding out and away from the front face of the frame and extending at least a portion of the elongated frame;   (b) a pair of mounting clips positioned at or near opposite ends of the frame configured for detachably mounting to a mop head; and   wherein the frame is configured to secure a cleaning device to cover at least the protruding ridge.   
     
     
         2 . The baseboard attachment of  claim 1 , wherein the ridge is formed integrally with the frame. 
     
     
         3 . The baseboard attachment of  claim 1 , wherein the frame defines a planar front face, and the ridge extends outwardly in a perpendicular direction of the planar front face forming a pair of ridge surfaces and a ridge face, wherein the ridge surfaces are configured to engage a corresponding baseboard surface. 
     
     
         4 . The baseboard attachment of  claim 1 , wherein the back plate and the front face form an elongated receiving channel configured to secure an adjustment mounting feature therebetween. 
     
     
         5 . The baseboard attachment of  claim 4 , wherein the adjustment mounting feature includes an elongated double screw, wherein each screw extends from a central stop to oppositely positioned connectors. 
     
     
         6 . The baseboard attachment of  claim 5 , wherein the mounting clips extend from an adjustment mounting feature and configured to linearly adjust towards and away from each other by turning an adjustment knob connected to a connector of the adjustment mounting feature. 
     
     
         7 . The baseboard attachment of  claim 5 , wherein each connector extends out from the receiving channel to engage a mounting clip through a clip receiving cavity. 
     
     
         8 . The baseboard attachment of  claim 7 , wherein the adjustment knob connects to a connector and the adjustment knob is configured to be turned linearly adjust the oppositely positioned mounting clips towards each other or away from each other to detachably mount over a mop head. 
     
     
         9 . The baseboard mop of  claim 1  wherein the cleaning device includes a cleaning cloth configured to removably mount over the frame and the ridge. 
     
     
         10 . The baseboard mop of  claim 9  wherein the ridge surface is configured to direct the cleaning cloth onto a surface of a baseboard. 
     
     
         11 . The baseboard mop of  claim 9  wherein the cleaning cloth includes a material selected from the group consisting of a microfiber, cloth, disposable cleaning paper, washable cleaning cloth, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         12 . A baseboard mop comprising:
 a) a handle;   b) a mop head connected to the handle; and   c) a baseboard attachment having an elongated frame and a ridge protruding out from the frame;   wherein the ridge extends linearly along the elongated frame and defines a shape configured to conform to a contour of a baseboard surface, and   wherein the frame is configured to secure a cleaning device to cover at least the protruding ridge.   
     
     
         13 . The baseboard mop of  claim 12 , wherein the baseboard attachment is integral with the mop head. 
     
     
         14 . The baseboard mop of  claim 12 , wherein the ridge is detachably mounted to the mop head. 
     
     
         15 . The baseboard mop of  claim 12 , wherein the frame defines a planar front face, and the ridge extends outwardly in a perpendicular direction of the planar front face forming a pair of ridge surfaces and a ridge face, wherein the ridge surfaces are configured to engage a corresponding baseboard surface. 
     
     
         16 . The baseboard mop of  claim 12  wherein the cleaning device includes a cleaning cloth configured to removably mount over the frame and the ridge. 
     
     
         17 . The baseboard mop of  claim 16  wherein the cleaning cloth includes a material selected from the group consisting of a microfiber, cloth, disposable cleaning paper, washable cleaning cloth, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         18 . The baseboard mop of  claim 12  wherein the ridge surface is configured to direct the cleaning cloth onto a surface of a baseboard. 
     
     
         19 . A baseboard mop head comprising:
 a) a mop head configured to detachably connect to a handle;   b) a baseboard attachment having an elongated frame and a ridge protruding out from the frame;   wherein the ridge extends linearly along the elongated frame and defines a shape configured to conform to a contour of a baseboard surface, and   wherein the frame is configured to secure a cleaning device to cover at least the protruding ridge.   
     
     
         20 . The baseboard mop head of  claim 19 , wherein the frame defines a planar front face and the ridge extends outwardly in a perpendicular direction of the planar front face forming a pair of ridge surfaces and a ridge face, wherein the ridge surfaces are configured to engage a corresponding baseboard surface.
