1. A cleaning device for cleaning a surface to be cleaned, comprising:
a handle;
a first member having a first cleaning surface;
a second member coupled to the handle and having a second cleaning surface; and
a deflection member coupled between the first member and the second member to couple the first member to the second member, the deflection member comprising at least one arm extending between the first member and the second member, wherein the at least one arm defines a first fulcrum point between the at least one arm and the first member and a second fulcrum point between the at least one arm and the second member, wherein the first and second members pivot relative to each other about the first and second fulcrum points,
wherein the deflection member comprises an annular structure defining an interior cavity, wherein the second member is arranged within the interior cavity defined by the annular structure, and the first member is arranged external to the deflection member, and
wherein, in response to a force applied to the handle by a user, the deflection member is configured to deform from a first shape to a second shape to provide feedback to the user.
