Abstract

A method at cleaning by means of a cleaning utensil comprising a support means (1) of a member (2) operative at the cleaning and having a dirt collecting surface (3), which support means (1) is intended to be carried by a stick (4) via an articulate member (5). The metodh is characterized in that when the dirt collecting surface (3 of the member (2) oper­ ative at the cleaning is moved in a direction according to the arrow A along a floor surface (9), only a minor part thereof is in contact with the floor surface (9), and that a major portion of the dirt collecting surface (3) of the op­ erative member (2) is in contact with the floor surface (9) when moved in an opposite direction along said floor surface (9). In this way an efficient collection of dirt particles located on the floor surface (9) is obtained at a reciprocating recti­ linear movement. The invention also relates to a cleaning utensil enabling said method and this cleaning utensil is char­ acterized in that the flexible region (6) of the articulate mem­ ber (5) is located outside a region defined by the lateral edges of the dirt collecting surface (3 . Moreover, the articulate member (5) is so embodied that it will spring back to a neutral position when a certain outer influence by forces ceases. At this neutral position, which occurs at the direction of motion of the cleaning utensil opposite to the arrow A, the whole dirt collecting surface (3) bears against the floor surface (9). A stop means (7) restricts the deflection of the articulate member (5) from its neutral position at the direction of mo­ tion according to the arrow A.
