Abstract

The mop or broom consists of an operating head (1) furnished underneath with a suction hole (15A), at least one steam distribution hole (15C) and a retractable brush (17A). The steam generating device (23) is housed in the operating head (1) and, via a feed pump, receives water for vaporising, the latter being contained in a tank in the body which is joined to the manoeuvring shaft (3) of the mop. A removable cloth-holding device can be applied to the head (1).
