The invention relates to a floor cleaning system, comprising a user-guided floor cleaning machine for cleaning a floor surface, a sensor device, a control device, and an actuatable display device, wherein the floor cleaning machine comprises an operating device for a user, a chassis for moving the cleaning machine over the floor surface, and at least one cleaning device having a cleaning tool and preferably a drive device for the cleaning tool, wherein, during operation of the floor cleaning machine, a cleaning path along which, proceeding from a starting point, the cleaning machine travels over the floor surface can be determined by the control device on the basis of signals from the sensor device, and wherein the control device actuates the display device in order to display cleaning-related information, depending upon the cleaning path along which the cleaning machine is determined to have traveled.

A cleaning appliance includes: a main body with a bottom side, the main body being assigned on the bottom side, which faces toward a floor to be cleaned, at least one cleaning body, the at least one cleaning body being mounted on the main body so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation, the axis of rotation of the cleaning body being oriented perpendicularly to the bottom side. The at least one cleaning body is mounted in the main body such that, during cleaning, the axis of rotation is movable relative to the bottom side along a movement path which is oriented perpendicularly to the axis of rotation.

A rotary surface cleaning machine for cleaning floors, including both carpeted floors and uncarpeted hard floor surfaces including but not limited to wood, tile, linoleum and natural stone flooring. The rotary surface cleaning machine has a rotary surface cleaning tool mounted on a frame and coupled for high speed rotary motion relative to the frame. The rotary surface cleaning tool has a substantially circular operational surface that performs the cleaning operation. The rotary surface cleaning tool is driven by an on-board power plant to rotate at high speed. The rotary surface cleaning tool is coupled to a supply of pressurized hot liquid solution of cleaning fluid and a powerful vacuum suction source.

A robot cleaner includes a main body, a moving unit for moving the main body, a cleaning module capable of being brought into contact with a floor surface at at least part of a lower surface thereof, and a module drive unit for controlling an angle of inclination of the lower surface of the cleaning module with respect to the floor surface.

An apparatus for cleaning a floor includes a housing, wheels by which the apparatus is adapted to move; a motive device for moving the apparatus, a steering mechanism, and a cleaning assembly including a cleaning unit and an offset mechanism adapted to move the cleaning unit to or from an offset position projecting beyond one lateral side of the apparatus. In another embodiment, an apparatus for cleaning a floor includes a housing, wheels by which the apparatus is adapted to move, a motive device for moving the apparatus, a steering mechanism, and a cleaning assembly including a cleaning unit and a swing mechanism indirectly linking the cleaning unit to the steering mechanism such that when the apparatus is in an operative mode, the cleaning unit reorients its position in synchronization with the path of travel of the apparatus. Optionally, a lifting device may raise and lower the cleaning assembly.

A robotic mop includes one or more mop assemblies that may be used for support, mobility, and/or scrubbing. The mop assemblies may be operated to both scrub and move the robotic mop along the intended path. For example, the robotic mop may operate the mop assemblies in this way by rotating the mop assemblies in one or more directions at various different speeds, by tilting the mop assemblies (whether or not while rotating the mop assemblies at the time), and so on. In this way, the robotic mop may be able to move while scrubbing with various amounts of force without disrupting navigation.
