<p>A bare floor cleaner comprises a foot 86 which has a dry mode suction nozzle 92, a wet mode nozzle consisting of fluid distribution conduits 67, and a handle assembly 104 pivotally connected to the foot assembly 86. A fluid delivery system includes a user operated trigger (24, fig 1) for actuating the fluid delivery system to distribute fluid in the wet mop position (figure 13) and deactivating a motor/fan assembly. An interlock 62 prevents cleaning solution from being distributed when the handle is in dry mode position. A diverter 100 may be mounted in the working air conduit between the foot assembly and the handle assembly and may be movable by movement of the handle assembly between a dry suction position (figure 11) and a wet mop position (figure 13) for selectively at least partially blocking working air flow from the dry suction nozzle 92 to a collection assembly. The fluid delivery system includes a heating element (90, fig 6) to raise the temperature of the cleaning solution before it is distributed to the surface to be cleaned. Support glides on the foot reduce the surface area contact between the foot pad and the surface to be cleaned.</p> |
