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： A tubular plastic handle for a steam cleaning machine with a T-shaped hollow member to which is integrally attached a hollow outrigger supported on hollow posts. The posts provide an integral cord wrap and the outrigger improves flexural rigidity. The hollow member also includes an aperture further improving flexural rigidity through which a linkage controlling the angle of the handle may be accessed.
