Abstract: An extraction cleaning machine includes a housing with a fluid delivery system that includes a fluid distributor for delivering a cleaning fluid to the surface to be cleaned. A fluid extraction system includes a suction nozzle for recovering soiled cleaning fluid from the surface. A steam delivery system is operably coupled to the housing and supplies steam or heated liquid to the surface. A controller is operably coupled to the steam delivery system and at least one ultraviolet light emitting element to selectively control the steam delivery system in accordance with a first timed duty cycle to generate at least one of the steam and the heated liquid that is supplied to the surface and the at least one ultraviolet light emitting element to emit ultraviolet light to the surface in accordance with a second timed duty cycle.

Abstract: An extraction cleaning machine includes a housing with a bottom portion that is adapted to rest on a surface to be cleaned, a fluid delivery system including a fluid distributor, a fluid extraction system including a suction nozzle, at least one carriage assembly mounting an agitation assembly to the housing for movement with respect thereto and with respect to the surface to be cleaned, and an ultraviolet light mounted on at least one of the housing and the carriage assembly to emit ultraviolet light onto the surface to be cleaned.

Abstract: A spot cleaning apparatus has a housing, a fluid distribution system, a fluid recovery system, an agitation system, at least one UV light emitting element, an optional steam generator, and a controller to automatically monitor and control inputs and outputs to the systems for spot and stain removal and surface sanitization without attendance by a user. A suction nozzle, agitation machine, and optionally, at least one UV light emitting element are mounted to the housing for movement over the surface to be cleaned relative to a stationary housing. Optionally, the spot cleaning apparatus can be operated in manual mode.
