1. A cleaning device, comprising:

  • at least one head component that comprises at least one cleaning material support component and at least one cleaning surface component, wherein the cleaning material support component comprises at least one cleaning material support component surface that at least partially defines at least one cleaning material receiving area, wherein the cleaning material support component comprises at least one opening such that the cleaning material receiving area communicates with the cleaning surface component, and wherein the cleaning material receiving area is configured to receive at least one cleaning material such that at least a portion of the cleaning material is movable to and/or from the cleaning material receiving area to extend over at least a portion of the cleaning surface component when the cleaning material is at least partially disposed in the cleaning material receiving area; and

    ,at least one rotary mechanism comprising;

    at least first, second, and third rotational components that substantially, coaxially rotate relative to one another and that each comprise at least one implement;

    at least first and second counter-rotational mechanisms, wherein the first counter-rotational mechanism operably engages at least the first and second rotational components, and wherein the second counter-rotational mechanism operably engages at least the second and third rotational components; and

    ,at least one drive mechanism component or a portion thereof operably engaged with one or more of the rotational components and/or with one or more of the counter-rotational mechanisms, which drive mechanism component or portion thereof is configured at least to effect rotation of the rotational components and the counter-rotational mechanisms such that the first and third rotational components rotate in a first direction when the second rotational component rotates in a second direction.
