Abstract (en)
The present invention relates to a suction cleaning device which provides liquid dispensing, scrubbing, squeegeeing, and suction drying in a single, compact, self contained device. The suction cleaning device includes a cleaning device housing (12), a handle (10) connected to the housing, an absorbent cleaning member (18) mounted on the housing (12) and movable between an extended and a retracted position, and a pair of squeegee blades (20). The device includes a suction system which draws the water from the floor surface which has been cleaned into a tank (16) mounted on the housing (12) which collects the liquid from the floor surface. A clean water bottle (14) is provided on the housing (12) for delivering cleaning liquid to the floor and a rechargeable battery power source (22) provides power to the suction motor (24). The cleaning device is compact and lightweight and leaves the floor in a substantially dry state. <IMAGE>
