Abstract
A hand-held apparatus for cleaning by spraying cleaning liquid and by suction of the used liquid has a spray pump (20) for cleaning liquid associated with a brush (23) for spreading of the liquid on the surface to be cleaned. A flexible rubber wiper (14) has a suction opening for the used liquid. A used liquid reservoir (1) communicates with the suction orifice of the wiper (14) by a channel (13). A partitioning device (5) maintains under vacuum the used liquid reservoir (1). A control trigger (21) is provided for the spraying of the cleaning liquid and for the sucking up of the used liquid. A handle (3) functions as a grip and a manipulator.
