摘要： A dual mode carpet cleaning machine capable of being used in both a traditional deep cleaning mode and a fast drying surface cleaning mode. A selection mechanism provides selective communication with different sets of application jets. One set of application jets delivers a first cleaning solution that penetrates deeply into a carpet. After agitation with a scrub brush the device removes the cleaning solution and unwanted soil through a vacuum nozzle. The other set of jets delivers a lower flow rate of a second cleaning solution that does not penetrate deeply into the carpet. In addition, a novel cleaning solution is disclosed for use with the machine in differing concentrations, depending on the desired application. The carpet cleaning solutions dry more quickly when applied to carpet than previous solutions; the combined performance of the system displays similar cleaning efficiencies to previous carpet cleaning machines but obtains significantly reduced drying times.

摘要： The invention is a cleaning tool housing assembly and a replaceable cleaning assembly. The manifold, in combination with a fluid intake element, also delivers fluid (under pressure through holes in the manifold located in a longitudinal channel) to a sponge. Two spaced apart fluid barriers are longitudinally disposed in the sponge. As fluid is introduced into the center of the sponge, between the fluid barriers, the fluid travels toward the opposite surface of the sponge. The fluid is prevented from traveling laterally due to the fluid barriers. As vacuum pressure, negative pressure, is exerted on the outer portions of the sponge (on each side of the fluid barriers), fluid is pulled back through the sponge, through the manifold and through the nozzles into the hollow housing body.

摘要翻译： 本发明是清洁工具外壳组件和可替换的清洁组件。 歧管与流体进口元件组合，还将流体（通过位于纵向通道中的歧管中的孔通过压力）传送到海绵。 两个间隔开的流体屏障纵向设置在海绵中。 当流体被引入海绵的中心时，在流体屏障之间，流体朝向海绵的相对表面传播。 由于流体屏障，流体被阻止横向移动。 随着真空压力，负压被施加在海绵的外部（在流体屏障的每一侧）上，流体被拉回海绵，通过歧管并通过喷嘴进入中空的壳体。
