1. A cleaning system comprising:
- a body;
a motor;
a switchproviding power to the motor upon receiving a first input, andprohibiting power to the motor upon receiving a second input;
a unit removable from and replaceable onto the body; and
a power reset deviceprohibiting power to the motor upon separation of the unit from the body, andproviding power to the motor upon replacement of the unit onto the body and the switch receiving a third input,the power reset device includinga plunger interacting with the switch and operable by a user-interface, andan actuator having a first actuator end operable by the unit and a second actuator end engageable with the plunger.
