An extraction cleaner may include a cleaner body including a pump and a suction motor, a supply tank configured to be removably coupled to the cleaner body and configured to receive a first cleaning fluid, an additive tank configured to receive a second cleaning fluid, a recovery tank configured to be removably coupled to the cleaner body, and a cleaning tool including a fluid applicator and a cleaning assembly, the fluid applicator is configured to deliver one of the first cleaning fluid or a mixture of the first cleaning fluid and the second cleaning fluid to a surface to be cleaned and the cleaning assembly is configured to extract at least a portion of the delivered first cleaning fluid or at least a portion of the delivered mixture.

A spot cleaner apparatus may have a clean fluid tank configured for holding a cleaning fluid. A dirty fluid tank may include an integrated liquid/air separator. A cleaning head may be fluidly coupled to the clean fluid tank, the cleaning head including one or more vacuum inlets and a fluid-nebulizing orifice configured to dispense the cleaning fluid in a mist-like fashion. A pump assembly may fluidly couple the clean fluid tank to the cleaning head. A fluid heater heats the cleaning fluid at or between the clean fluid tank and the fluid-nebulizing orifice. A vacuum assembly configured for drawing a vacuum airflow from one or more vacuum inlets in the cleaning head through the integrated liquid/air separator in the dirty fluid tank.

A surface cleaner may have various features including an engagement mechanism secured to an agitator support frame and positioned to be pivoted by an agitator lift lever as the agitator lift lever translates, the pivoting engagement mechanism lifting the agitator support frame and the agitator secured thereto from a lowered position to a raised position. Other features may include a projection to limit belt slack when the agitator assembly is raised, a compact detent mechanism for releasing a spine assembly in an upright surface cleaner, a compact motor drive assembly, a self-priming centrifugal pump, a fluid-dispensing system having a high flow operating state and a low flow operating state, and a clean-out tray in which a base of the surface cleaner may be docked.

A surface cleaner includes a base movable over a surface to be cleaned and having a suction inlet and a brushroll removably coupled to the base and rotatable about a brushroll axis, and a brushroll cover coupled to the base. A latch is movable between an unlocked position in which the brushroll is removable from the base and a locked position in which the brushroll is coupled to the base. The brushroll cover includes an actuator that moves the latch from the unlocked position toward the locked position when the brushroll cover is attached to the base such that when the brushroll cover is coupled to the base, the latch is retained in the locked position by the actuator to prevent removal of the brushroll. When the brushroll cover is uncoupled from the base, the latch moves to the unlocked position such that the brushroll is removable from the base.

A portable washing unit, which is capable of automatically carrying out various types of washing treatments respectively. A portable washing unit is provided with a driving unit, which is configured to be drivable in a state where an accessory at least capable of executing a washing treatment and serving as a washing mechanism is connected, and is attachable and detachable for various accessories capable of performing washing-related treatments.

A handheld floor sweeper having a debris receiving compartment in the sweeper body having a bottom tray that is pivotally connected to the sweeper body. A latching mechanism that is operated by the user pushing a release lever allows the bottom tray to pivot to an open position to discharge debris collected in the compartment without the user having to contact the debris. The tray is pushed back to the closed position by the user after the debris is discharged where the tray is once again latched in the closed position.

A steam cleaning apparatus for delivering steam of a surface to be cleaned is provided with a steam unit, a handle tube and an indexable base. The base can be indexed between a wide orientation where a long edge of the base is orthogonal to the direction of travel and a narrow orientation where a short edge of the base is orthogonal to the direction of travel.

A long rod cleaning machine having an electric motor, a tip tool including a cleaning portion, a head to which the tip tool is attachable, a rod, and a rotator between the head and the rod. The tip tool is attached in a manner movable with a driving force from the electric motor. The head includes a peripheral portion surrounding the cleaning portion and including a surface-cleaning lateral portion to be in contact with a cleaning target surface together with the cleaning portion. The rotator includes a rotation restrictor connecting the head to the rod in a manner rotatable relative to the rod about at least two axes. The rotation restrictor partially or fully restricts rotation of the head.

A rotary mechanism and a handheld tool, which relates to mechanical regulation. The rotary mechanism including a first part, a second part, and a rotary locking assembly, a mounting portion being provided on the first part, the second part having a rotary portion adapted to the mounting portion; the rotary portion and the mounting portion are rotatably sleeving-fitted, the rotary locking assembly includes a sliding block and a rotary drive element, the sliding block is mounted on the rotary portion, and the rotary drive element rotates to bring the sliding block to move radially along the rotary portion so that the sliding block is locked on the mounting portion or is unlocked from the mounting portion.

A portable power and water supply for hard surface or carpet cleaners is disclosed. The portable power and water supply can include a portable platform with a fresh/waste water tank and two or more power connectors that can be coupled to separate power sources. The fresh/waste water tank can have an internal bladder that separates fresh cleaning water from returned waste water. The fresh/waste water tank can facilitate operation of cleaning tools (e.g., hard surface cleaners and/or carpet cleaners) in buildings with limited or widely spaced water supplies, without the need for long hoses. The power connectors can be coupled to wall power to direct power to the cleaning tools.
