1. An improved cleaning wand for use in cleaning floors comprising:

  • a vacuum head having front and rear vacuum ports directed generally at right angles to said floor;

    means disposed between said front and rear vacuum ports for spraying a cleaning solution upon a floor surface;

    a handle cooperating with said vacuum head to manipulate said vacuum head in a forward and reverse direction upon the floor surface, said handle being further adapted to alternately tilt said vacuum head in said forward and said reverse directions as the operator manipulates said vacuum head in such directions; and

    at least one squeegee blade positioned outside of and adjacent to at least one of said vacuum ports, each such squeegee blade being directed downwardly from said vacuum head and terminating at a point below said vacuum ports and said means for spraying cleaning solution such that when said vacuum head is in its operative position said squeegee blade(s) will be in direct contact with said floor, with said vacuum ports and said means for spraying cleaning solution being held above said floor, said squeegee blade(s) being further adapted to assume an angular configuration of approximately ninety degrees thereby blocking said adjacent vacuum port upon movement of said vacuum head in the direction of each such squeegee blade.
