Honestly speaking, we will like to help you out but the problem here is that we do not have any D & T specialists here, and we will not want to give you bad advices, as we have no idea how your work is going to be graded.
Personally, I will say the most important thing now is whether you have confidence of creating something which is different from the Magic Cleaner. Even if you alter the appearances, if the basic function of your device still work like a Magic Cleaner, I don't think your teacher will be very happy about it.
Some suggestions to improve your product would be :
1) Allowing it to be able to not only stretch, but also contract for easy keeping.
2) Giving it some form of support so that it will be less tiring to hold it up.
3) Change your newspaper to another material which will allow it to have a better surface for polishing and cleaning.
On the otherhand, if you want to change your device to another one, you will have to think about what will you want to create first before making the switch. The most important factor will be whether the new device is more unique than your 'Magic Cleaner' or not. Of course, this new device will have to be able to work too.
