Abstract

The present invention relates to vacuum floor treatment and maintenance machines equipped with rotating sanding or brushing work heads. According to the present invention there is provided an attachment for a floor maintenance machine for use in dry operations comprising a first portion for contacting the floor in use, the first portion having one or more apertures extending therethrough, the first portion being attachable to a floor maintenance machine so that reduction of the air pressure above the first portion during operation of the maintenance machine enables air and particles entrained therein to be drawn through the one or more apertures in the first portion. Preferably a cover portion is attachable to the floor maintenance machine so that the cover portion extends over the first portion and is spaced axially therefrom to define a passageway, the passageway extending between the cover portion and the first portion so that reduction of the air pressure above the first portion during operation of the maintenance machine in use enables air and particles entrained therein to be drawn through the passageway.
