A hand operated combination handle and control valve assembly applicable to each of three related cleaning devices. The valve, when attached to a standard pressurized water hose, controls the pressure flow as desired; such as off, pressure to a first outlet port, pressure to both the first and second outlet ports, and finally, pressure to only the second outlet port. A first scrubbing device consists of the handle/valve attached to a pair of water passage tubes assembled to receive pressurized water to impart rotational motion to a turbine operated, planetary gear reduction driven scrubbing brush and also to rinse the soap residue of the scrubbing operation. A second scrubbing device consists of the handle/valve attached directly to a housing which directs pressurized water to a nozzle to wet or rinse an object and also through an inclined orifice to impart rotational motion to a water turbine attached to a central shaft designed to receive a scrubbing brush, such as a bottle brush. The third device consists of the handle/valve attached to a pair of inclined water passage tubes having at their lower ends a caster and nozzles to sweep a surface, such as a driveway.

A handle/valve mechanism comprised of a handle with an end of a quick connect/disconnect hose fitting formed at the inlet end, which allows for the passage of pressurized water through a central bore in said handle to a lever operated, single spool, four way control valve formed within said handle, said valve directing flow to a pair of outlet passage orifices used individually or collectively at operator\s will to perform a desired operation, one position of said valve channeling water to a first tube which contains as in-line soap dispenser for the purpose of dispensing a small amount of soap into said tube and which is discharged onto a rotating brush after driving a turbine rotatively connected through a planetary gear means to impart rotational motion to said brush during current wash operation; a second position of said valve directing the passage of water through a second tube to an orifice located in the brush body to accommodate rinsing.
