Self-cleaning features for extraction cleaners and attachments for extraction cleaners, such as accessory tools, wands, and/or hoses, are provided. The self-cleaning features are configured redirect cleaning fluid from a fluid supply system of the extraction cleaner into a working air or fluid recovery path of the extraction cleaner, including, but not limited to into the working air or fluid recovery path of a tool, wand, and/or hose of the extraction cleaner.

A self-propelled surface treatment unit has a drive device for the autonomous travel of the surface treatment unit within an environment, an energy storage device, a data storage device having an environmental map of the environment, and a navigation device for the navigation and self-location of the surface treatment unit within the environment on the basis of the environmental map having environmental zones. In order to improve the efficiency and service life of the energy storage device, the environmental map has energy data for at least two environmental zones, which indicates the amount of energy that the surface treatment unit will require to treat the surface in each one of the environmental zones.

A surface cleaning apparatus including, a fluid storage container; an outlet for directing fluid from the fluid storage container onto a surface to be cleaned; and a valve configured to regulate the flow of fluid from the fluid storage container to the outlet and including: a body; and a member being moveable relative to the body between a first position and a second position and defining a flow path extending through a surface thereof; wherein the flow of fluid through the valve flows at a first rate when the member is in the first position and at a second rate and along the flow path when the member is in the second position, the second rate of flow being lower than the first rate of flow.

The multifunction machine for cleaning and sanitizing surfaces and environments that has a body-machine that includes: a waste suction device; a wet filtration and collection device of sucked waste; a steam generating and steam expulsion device towards said surfaces and environments; a primary circuit for circulating sucked air and waste having a first inlet and a first outlet obtained in the body machine; a secondary circulation circuit for air which has a second inlet and a second outlet obtained in the body machine which also includes an ionizing device placed on said secondary circuit.

A floor cleaner including a base movable over a surface to be cleaned, a suction nozzle provided on the base having a suction inlet, a body portion having a fluid dispensing member selectively removable from the body portion, the body portion being pivotally mounted to the base movable between an upright storage position and an inclined floor cleaning position, a suction source in fluid communication with the suction nozzle, and a reservoir configured to provide solution. The fluid dispensing member includes a grip, a dispensing nozzle in fluid communication with the reservoir, and an actuator. The fluid dispensing member is configured to deliver solution from the reservoir through the dispensing nozzle upon user actuation of the actuator, independent of function of the base and body of the floor cleaner.

A nozzle for a cleaner includes a nozzle housing having a suction flow path through which air containing dust flows, a first rotation cleaning unit and a second rotation cleaning unit located on a bottom side of the nozzle housing, the first rotation cleaning unit and the second rotation cleaning unit being spaced apart from each other in a left-right direction of the nozzle housing, each of the first rotation cleaning unit and the second rotation cleaning unit having a rotation plate, a driving device located in the nozzle housing, and a water tank located on the nozzle housing, the water tank being configured to store water to be supplied to the first rotation cleaning unit and the second rotation cleaning unit. The water tank includes a first chamber, and a second chamber spaced apart from the first chamber in the left-right direction of the nozzle housing.

Self-cleaning features for extraction cleaners and attachments for extraction cleaners, such as accessory tools, wands, and/or hoses, are provided. The self-cleaning features are configured redirect cleaning fluid from a fluid supply system of the extraction cleaner into a working air or fluid recovery path of the extraction cleaner, including, but not limited to into the working air or fluid recovery path of a tool, wand, and/or hose of the extraction cleaner.

A surface cleaning apparatus such as an extractor has a fluid flow path extending from a dirty fluid inlet head to a clean air outlet. The fluid flow path upstream of the separation stage comprises a removable portion.

A nozzle for a cleaner includes a nozzle housing having a suction flow path through which air containing dust flows, a first rotation cleaning unit and a second rotation cleaning unit located on a bottom side of the nozzle housing, the first rotation cleaning unit and the second rotation cleaning unit being spaced apart from each other in a left-right direction of the nozzle housing, each of the first rotation cleaning unit and the second rotation cleaning unit having a rotation plate, a driving device located in the nozzle housing, and a water tank located on the nozzle housing, the water tank being configured to store water to be supplied to the first rotation cleaning unit and the second rotation cleaning unit. The water tank includes a first chamber, and a second chamber spaced apart from the first chamber in the left-right direction of the nozzle housing.

A surface cleaning apparatus includes at least a recovery system for removing the spent cleaning fluid and debris from the surface to be cleaned and storing the spent cleaning fluid and debris. The recovery system is provided with a recovery tank having a removably strainer that is configured to strain large debris and hair out of the recovery tank prior to emptying the recovery tank.
