A supply unit for a cleaning machine which can be connected via at least one flexible hose, has a heating device for heating water, a water pump for conveying water into or out of the heating device, a hot water and/or steam connector which is connected to the outlet of the heating device, a dirty water tank, a suction device, which preferably includes a suction turbine, for sucking dirty water from a dirty water connector into the dirty water tank. In a preferred embodiment the unit has at least one, preferably precisely one central, drive unit for driving at least one, preferably a plurality of or all components to be driven of the supply unit and/or of a cleaning machine to be connected to it.

The present invention provides a portable battery steam cleaner comprising in combination of a hollow main body, in which a water tank, peristaltic pump, control system and lithium battery; the water tank in connection with the input of the peristaltic pump; the output of the peristaltic pump in connection with one end of silicone hose; and the other end of silicone hose in connection with the steam generator. The present invention can continuously transport liquid from the water tank, through the silicone hose, into the steam generator, and thus eject steam continuously for cleaning purposes.

A surface cleaning apparatus includes a housing including an upright handle assembly and a base mounted to the upright handle assembly and adapted for movement across a surface to be cleaned. The surface cleaning apparatus is further provided with a fluid delivery system comprising a fluid dispenser configured to dispense fluid to a brushroll and at least one fluid delivery channel forming a portion of a fluid delivery pathway. The fluid delivery channel can extend adjacent to a portion of the suction nozzle assembly. An interference wiper interfaces with a portion of the brushroll to remove excess liquid from the brushroll.

A mop is disclosed. The mop includes a handle, an elongated shaft, a first reservoir, and a housing. Contained within the housing is a rolled cleaning fabric material cartridge, which can be pre-wetted or dry. The mop further includes one or more spray nozzles that are fluidly connected to the reservoir for dispensing a solution. A motor advances the cleaning fabric material, wherein the motor is preprogrammed to advance the material so that a completely new section of material covers the mop surface area and the used section of the material is advanced into said housing. The mop can further include a front extension on the leading edge of the housing that enables the cleaning fabric material to reach under the edge of a cabinet to increase the reach of the device.

Hot plate cleaner for floors including a handgrip, a handle, a tank for water, a main body shaped as a brush, a heating plate below the brush and a thermostat, and cleaning fabrics for the floor hooked below a sealing frame, adapted to be hooked and unhooked below the brush, with the interposition of a sandwich panel maintained in contact with the heating plate having a layer of polyurethane foam, placed between two polyester fabrics, and a waterproof element applied to the panel to let the water flow from the tank scatter on the sandwich panel to dampen it so to act as a tank in order to reach the same temperature as the heating plate and keep it unchanged until the panel dries and transmit the same temperature to the cleaning fabric.

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 cleaning device includes: a liquid container; a heating element; and a pump for conveying liquid out of the liquid container in a direction of the heating element. The heating element at least partially vaporizes the liquid. The heating element is connected to a cleaning head, from which the vaporized liquid exits. A compensating device is arranged between the pump and the heating element.

A mist generating system for a cleaning implement is adapted to generate a finely atomized liquid mist for suppressing dust, allergens, and other airborne particulates. The mist generating system can be adapted to fit many cleaning implements such as vacuum cleaners, wet extraction cleaners, floor mops, and dusters to suppress airborne dust and particulates generated during operation and the cleaning process.
