Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4094659A1] The invention provides a cleaning tray for a wet floor cleaner, for receiving a head of the wet floor cleaner. The cleaning tray has at least one brush channels for receiving a bottom portion of an outer circumference of a roller brush. At least one raised projection is positioned along the brush channel having an upstream ramp surface and a steeper downstream ramp surface. The projection adds turbulence for improving the cleaning results as well as enabling control of the flow of cleaning liquid around the brush and the cleaning tray, to ensure full soaking of the brush as well as cleaning of all of the area of the cleaning tray itself. The invention also provides a cleaning method which may use the cleaning tray.
