Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004017805A1] Disclosed is a floor-cleaning apparatus (1) comprising at least one tool which impinges upon the floor surface that is to be cleaned, at least one vapor outlet (6) for expelling vapor, and at least one cleaner outlet (7,13) for discharging cleaner towards the floor surface. The cleaner outlet and the vapor outlet are jointly arranged in front of the effective area of the cleaning tool (3) relative to the direction of movement (A) of the floor-cleaning apparatus. A vapor pipe system (5) which extends across a vaporizing section and is connected in an effective manner to a vapor generator (8) is disposed upstream of the cleaning tool (3). An application tube (13) which extends across an application section and is connected in an effective manner to a cleaner tank (14) is also arranged upstream of the cleaning tool.
