A dispensing handle device is disclosed comprising a handle housing having an internal reservoir in which a water boil is prepared to temperatures that clean and, according to the guidelines of governmental health organizations, effectively disinfect surfaces in a post-pandemic world. Moreover, governmental health organizations caution against potentially harmful “chemical” disinfectants or natural products that may not kill microorganisms and therefore are ineffective. Further, the handle applicator has a passageway through which the water boil is dispensed; and a base plate member having an applicator surface on one side and attachable at an opposite side to the handle housing. Integrally formed with the base plate member is a valve comprising a lever and a plurality of torsion spring members, which pressure a sealing end of the lever against the handle housing, whereby sealing the water boil passageway to discharge the water boil in a controlled manner.

An electrical household appliance includes a base for producing steam having a steam generator including a boiling chamber and a liquid reservoir supplying the boiling chamber by gravity, the liquid flowing by gravity from the reservoir toward the boiling chamber until the liquid level in the boiling chamber reaches an equilibrium level, called the reference level, at which the liquid level prevents air from entering the reservoir, the boiling chamber including a steam outlet through which steam can escape toward a work tool, such as a smoothing brush, and a communication opening connected to a pipe having an evacuation opening closed with a removable stopper, wherein the pipe includes a scale-collecting container that is removable through the evacuation opening.

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 surface cleaning apparatus, such as a fluid delivery or steam mop, comprises a handle assembly comprising a steam distributor and a foot assembly pivotally attached to the handle assembly and comprising a base housing. The foot assembly can be used in two positions, whereby opposing sides of a cleaning pad on the base housing can selectively engage a surface to be cleaned. The foot assembly is further swivelable relative to the steam distributor, such that fluid can be delivered to the surface to be cleaned in both of the two use positions.
