ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method of using a suction cleaning device which provides liquid dispensing, scrubbing, squeegeeing, and suction drying in a single, compact, self contained device. The suction cleaning device includes a cleaning device housing, a handle connected to the housing, an absorbent cleaning member mounted on the housing and movable between an extended and a retracted position, and a pair of squeegee blades. The device includes a suction system which draws the water from the floor surface which has been cleaned into a tank mounted on the housing which collects the liquid from the floor surface. A clean water bottle is provided on the housing for delivering cleaning liquid to the floor and a rechargeable battery power source provides power to the suction motor. The cleaning device is compact and lightweight and leaves the floor in a substantially dry state. The method includes dispensing cleaning liquid from the bottle provided in the self contained cleaning system and cleaning the floor with the cleaning member and the cleaning liquid. The cleaning member is retracted and contaminated cleaning liquid is wrung from it. The squeegee member collects the contaminated cleaning liquid from the floor and the suction system draws the contaminated cleaning liquid into the tank to leave the floor in a substantially dry state.
