Abstract
A vacuum cleaning apparatus is provided which includes a housing having a handle portion and a nozzle portion. A reservoir is defined in the housing for retaining cleaning solution or water, and a heating unit is associated with the reservoir for heating the liquid so as to generate steam for delivery to a flat surface such as a window to be cleaned. A squeegee assembly is mounted to the housing adjacent the nozzle portion for wiping the window after liquid has been deposited thereon. A motor driven fan assembly is disposed within the housing in communication with the nozzle portion for drawing excess liquid and debris into the nozzle portion. The nozzle portion defines structure for separating and containing the liquid which is drawn into the apparatus.
