Abstract: A cleaning device includes: a main body having a roller apparatus and a suction apparatus, the roller apparatus defining a line of movement of the cleaning device, the suction apparatus opening out into a suction opening which is arranged on a side of the main body facing a floor to be cleaned, the suction opening being bordered by a first wall and a second wall, the first wall and the second wall running transversely to a line of movement. A lip with an elastic design, which when the cleaning device is used as intended lies on the floor to be cleaned, is assigned to the suction opening. When the cleaning device is moving in a first direction of movement along the line of movement, the lip rests against the first wall.

Abstract: A cleaning device includes: a main body having a front edge; a suction device having a suction opening and a suction channel; a brush assembly having a rotatable roller brush; and an apparatus for wetting a floor to be cleaned with liquid, the apparatus being associated with the roller brush. The suction opening and the roller brush are arranged in the main body in such a manner as to face the floor to be cleaned. The suction opening has a first wall facing the front edge of the main body and a second wall facing the roller brush. The roller brush loosens dirt from the floor to be cleaned. A pivotable lip is associated with the suction opening and alternately rests against the first wall or the second wall.
