Abstract: A surface cleaning head may include a fluid distributor configured to distribute a cleaning fluid, an agitator configured to absorb at least a portion of the distributed cleaning fluid and to agitate debris on the surface to be cleaned, a fluid stripper configured to remove, from the agitator, at least a portion of the distributed cleaning fluid absorbed by the agitator, a debris container, and a removable cover. The debris container may include a solid debris chamber and a fluid debris chamber. The removable cover may include a fluid catch plate configured to transfer at least a portion of the cleaning fluid removed from the agitator by the fluid stripper to the fluid debris chamber, the fluid catch plate being configured to selectively transition between an in-use position and a cleaning position when the removable cover is removed from the surface cleaning head.

Abstract: A nozzle assembly for a cleaning apparatus can include a brushroll, a motor disposed within the brushroll and configured to rotate the brushroll, a debris receptacle comprising a debris inlet. A scraper may be disposed above the debris inlet such that the scraper projects into the brushroll. A ramp can be formed on the scraper. The ramp may extend between an outer edge of the scraper above the debris inlet and into an interior region of the debris receptacle. The ramp can include a runoff surface configured to direct debris and liquid removed from the brushroll by the scraper as the brushroll rotates into the debris receptacle at a negative angle relative to a surface being cleaned. A squeegee assembly may be disposed across a full width of the nozzle assembly.
