1. A cleaning apparatus for use with a liquid source, the cleaning apparatus comprising:
a control circuit;
a body configured to hold liquid, the body comprising:
a first end, the first end of the body comprising an attachment coupling configured to operatively attach to a body portion of the liquid source;
a second end, the second end of the body being opposite the first end and comprising an outlet;
at least one wall defining an internal volume of the body, the at least one wall extending between the first end of the body and the second end of the body;
a reservoir within the internal volume of the body, the reservoir being between the first end of the body and the second end of the body and configured to store liquid; and
at least one excitation component within the internal volume and in an operative relationship with the reservoir, the at least one excitation component configured to be controlled by the control circuit and, when controlled by the control circuit, configured to generate energy sufficient to induce the formation of voids in the liquid in the reservoir, the voids being trapped in the liquid in the reservoir,
wherein the outlet of the second end of the body is configured to output liquid containing the trapped voids.
