Abstract
A surface cleaning apparatus includes a supply tank, a fluid dispenser, a brushroll rotatable about an axis, a brushroll motor configured to rotate the brushroll in a forward direction about the axis and a backward direction about the axis, and a controller. The controller executes a scrub mode in which the brushroll is oscillated forward and backwards about the axis to scrub a surface to be cleaned and break up a stubborn stain on the surface.
