A wet extraction floor cleaning device having a base assembly adapted for movement on a surface being cleaned, an operating handle pivotally attached to the base assembly, a supply tank having a supply tank outlet, and a recovery tank having a recovery tank inlet and a recovery tank outlet. The base assembly has an inlet nozzle that extends from an inlet slit proximal the surface being cleaned to a nozzle outlet. The device further includes a fluid deposition assembly that can be selectively placed in fluid communication with the supply tank outlet, a vacuum source, and first and second external pockets. The supply and recovery tanks are adapted to be selectively placed in the first and second external pockets, thereby placing the supply tank outlet in fluid communication with the fluid deposition system, the recovery tank inlet in fluid communication with the nozzle outlet, and the recovery tank outlet in fluid communication with the vacuum source inlet.

Wet extractor valve system

Linear agitator for wet extractor

A floor cleaning device having a base assembly and an operating handle selectively movable between an extended position and a collapsed position. The operating handle has a lower handle connected to the base assembly and an upper handle connected to the lower handle. The lower handle is pivotally connected to the base assembly and the upper handle is pivotally connected to the lower handle. The handle is moved to the collapsed position by folding the lower handle downward relative to the base assembly and folding the upper handle relative to the lower handle. The base occupies a floor space defined by an outer periphery of the base assembly, and the lower and upper handles are positioned above the base assembly and do not extend laterally and longitudinally a substantial distance from the outer periphery of the base assembly when the operating handle is moved to the collapsed position.
