Abstract

A device that combines a handheld retractable sprayer nozzle with an integrated soap/cleaning compartment for hot tubs, bathtubs, sinks, showers and other uses for residential, commercial, and industrial cleaning. The core elements are a nozzle with a rotating variable spray head, water selection knob, and distinctly, a compartment for tablets for soap, cleanser, etc. By using a self-contained closed system that eliminates additional suction hoses, containers, and multiple large soap containers this device will provide an easy to use product for end-users.
