Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1314823A2] In order to be able to clean a floor rapidly, a floor is sprayed with high-pressure jets of clean water by a spray unit (23) and the dirty water and dirt which have been sprayed loose are sucked up by a suction unit (27), said spray unit (23) and suction unit (27) being located on a cleaning vehicle (1). In this process, clean water is taken from a clean-water tank (19) and the dirty water is sucked into a dirty-water tank (21), which are also situated on the cleaning vehicle. <??>The dirty-water tank (21), should it be full, is emptied into a larger dirty-water tank (53) on a tank lorry (49). In this way, the cleaning vehicle (1) does not have to go to a tip in order to be emptied, but it can discharge the dirty water into a tank lorry (49) directly nearby. Should the tank lorry be full, it will go to the tip while the cleaning vehicle (1) can continue working. Because of this, cleaning can continue uninterruptedly. <IMAGE>
