The invention relates to an apparatus for cleaning. The apparatus comprises a cleaning member adapted to engage a surface to be cleaned; a support member for supporting the cleaning member, with the cleaning member being resiliently movable between an extended position and a retracted position relative to the support member in response to an external force applied to the cleaning member; one or more engaging members provided at the support member; wherein the engaging members are adapted to engage the surface when the cleaning member is arranged at the retracted position such that further retraction of the cleaning member is substantially prevented.

A surface cleaning apparatus adapted for movement across a surface to be cleaned. The surface cleaning apparatus can dock within a storage tray and charge a power supply. Electrical contacts on the surface cleaning apparatus and the storage tray can be shielded when the surface cleaning apparatus is not docked within the storage tray. Furthermore, the storage tray can include a reservoir for a self-cleaning mode.

The present disclosure provides a surface cleaning apparatus that includes a steam delivery system for steam mopping a floor surface after sweeping dry dirt, dust, hair, and other debris from the floor surface. The surface cleaning apparatus can be configured to perform multiple cleaning functions, including dry sweeping and steam mopping. The surface cleaning apparatus can have a steam vent for venting a portion of the steam from a brush chamber.

A handheld extraction cleaner includes a fluid delivery system and a recovery system including a suction nozzle, a recovery tank, and a suction source. The recovery tank has an auto-close feature that automatically seals an outlet of the tank when the recovery tank is mounted to a tank receiver of the extraction cleaner.

A floor cleaning machine is provided, in particular a hand-guided and/or hand-held floor cleaning machine, including a support device, at least one cleaning roller arranged on the support device, capable of being driven in rotation and provided with a cleaning substrate, said cleaning substrate being made of a textile material; and at least one mouth towards the at least one cleaning roller that includes a first and a spaced second mouth wall having a mouth opening therebetween, wherein the first mouth wall is positioned above the second mouth wall relative to the direction of gravity, wherein the first and/or second mouth wall protrude(s) into the cleaning substrate of the at least one cleaning roller.

A handheld extraction cleaner includes a unitary body provided with a carry handle, and further provided with a supply tank, a recovery tank, and a suction source, all of which are carried on the unitary body. The various components of the extraction cleaner can be arranged for a balanced weight in hand. The supply and recovery tanks are configured to optimize the usable volume within the tanks, among other functions. A powered cleaning head including a removable brushroll is provided on the unitary body.
