1. A surface cleaning apparatus for treating a stain on a floor surface, the surface cleaning apparatus comprising:
a first solution reservoir configured to hold a supply of a solution; a steam generator in fluid communication with the first solution reservoir for heating the solution to at least 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius) to generate steam from the solution; a steam distributor fluidly connected to the steam generator to distribute steam onto the stain on the floor surface; a cleaning pad positioned to contact the stain on the floor surface; and a cleaning composition comprising a peroxygen and a surfactant for application onto the stain on the floor surface carried by the cleaning pad or by a second solution reservoir provided on the surface cleaning apparatus; wherein the steam generator is configured to apply steam to the cleaning composition at the time of delivery of the cleaning composition to the stain or subsequent to the delivery of the cleaning composition to the stain; and wherein application of steam to the cleaning composition transfers energy from the steam to the cleaning composition to enhance the cleaning efficacy of the cleaning composition as compared to the cleaning efficacy of the cleaning composition without steam. |
