Abstract

A cleaning apparatus includes a housing, a suction assembly, and a fluid delivery system. A wand is coupled to the housing via an accessory hose. The wand includes a trigger and a fluid outlet. Actuation of the trigger provides fluid communication between the fluid delivery system and the fluid outlet for releasing a liquid. A vacuum tool is coupled to the wand. The vacuum tool includes a support body that defines an open end for receiving the wand and includes a guard that extends beyond the open end to extend over the trigger to prevent the actuation of the trigger. An intermediate recovery tank is coupled to the support body and defines an inlet in fluid communication with the suction assembly. A separator is disposed within the intermediate recovery tank to retain the debris within the interior and allow airflow to be directed through the separator to the accessory hose.
