22. A flat mop with an abrasive pad device comprising:
-
a first component configured to engage a flat mop; a second component configured to engage an abrasive pad, the second component movably connected to the first component in a vertical direction between an inactive position and an active position, the second component further positioned within a boundary defined by an outer perimeter of the first component such that the abrasive pad is surrounded by at least a portion of the flat mop in all horizontal directions at least when the second component is in the active position, the flop mop and the abrasive pad being independently interchangeable on the respective first and second components; a biasing member configured to provide a biasing force to position the second component in the inactive position when the abrasive pad is not in use, wherein in the inactive position the abrasive pad is raised a select vertical distance from a floor surface; and a handle coupled to the second component to control movement of the device over the floor surface, the handle further configured to force the second component into the active position so the abrasive pad engages the floor surface by applying a select amount of pressure to the second component to counter the biasing force supplied by the biasing member. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
