Abstract: In a suction hood (2) for a wet floor cleaning machine (1) in which a motor-driven scrubbing roller (3) rotates, accompanied by application of water, on an axle (free-arm axle) which is clamped in on only one side within the suction hood (2) which overlaps this axle (7) at both ends, this suction hood (2) is guided so as to be displaceable axially relative to the scrubbing roller (3).
