A cleaning apparatus adapted for use with a carbon dioxide cleaning medium comprises a body member, a door connected to the body member and together with the body member forming a pressure vessel, a basket disposed within the body member, a motor contained within the pressure vessel, and a drive mechanism contained within the pressure vessel for rotating the basket with the motor. Because the motor and drive mechanism are both contained within the pressure vessel, the need for a rotating shaft that penetrates the pressure vessel, and which must be sealed at least in part against the high pressure liquid contained therein, is obviated.
