Abstract: A cleaning implement for spot cleaning a surface includes a cleaning block having a plurality of sides and edges, and is preferably a cube. One or more elongated cleaning strips each have an outside surface, an inside surface, a first end, and an opposing second end. A fastening mechanism is adapted for fixing the first end to the second end, around the cleaning block. Each cleaning strip includes, on at least the outside surface thereof but preferably also on the inside surface thereof, a wear indicator positioned for each side of the cleaning block over which the cleaning strip is attached. Spot cleaning the surface using a side with one of the wear indicators causes the wear indicator to change visually. As such, with each cleaning strip fastened around the cleaning block, the cleaning block may be grasped and used to spot clean the surface.

Abstract: An attachment assembly to convert an existing leaf blower into a device for drying vehicles. The attachment assembly includes several interchangeable modular sections, including an adapter section configured to attach to the air outlet of an existing commercial leaf blower. Other sections include air outlet nozzle sections, an extender section, and a weighted section. The inlet side of the nozzle sections, extender section, and weighted section as well as the outlet sides of the adapter section, extender section, and weighted section are uniform so that any of the outlets may be mated with any of the inlets. This allows any configuration of sections desired to be achieved. The adapter section may have a filter placed in the air stream to prevent debris from being blown into the vehicle and damaging the exterior of the vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automated cleaning and inspection of electric vehicles. The systems and methods for automated cleaning eliminate the need for human interaction with the vehicle and/or cleaning system. Vehicle cleaning is typically a heavily manual task that consumes operation personnel time and resources. Providing automated systems and methods for vehicle cleaning can reduce human resources used for cleaning. Additionally, automated cleaning systems and methods can increase vehicle utilization efficiency by decreasing downtime for cleaning. In various implementations, systems and methods are provided for automated vehicle inspections. In some examples, automated vehicle inspections can occur concurrently with automated vehicle cleaning.

Abstract: There is provided a system and method of cleaning surfaces of an enclosable environment of a contamination comprising a microbial and viral load. The method includes the steps of sealing the enclosable environment and placing water, and a solid or gel pack, into a container and generating a vortex the container by rotating an impeller. The agitation causes the solid or gel pack to release a gaseous cleaning agent. An air-borne spray exiting from the container spreads throughout the enclosable environment to contact the surfaces to be cleaned within the enclosable environment. The enclosable environment is maintained closed for an effective time period while the air-borne spray dwells on the surfaces to eliminate or substantially reduce the load of the contamination.

Abstract: The disclosed technology provides solutions for facilitating automated cleaning of an autonomous vehicle (AV) and in particular, for identifying objects and maintenance areas within an AV cabin. A process of the disclosed technology can include steps for collecting sensor data representing a cabin of an autonomous vehicle (AV) using an optical sensor disposed on a robotic arm, identifying one or more objects represented by the sensor data, and determining if the cabin of the AV can be cleaned using one or more tools associated with the robotic arm based on an identification of at least one of the one or more objects. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
