Abstract

The cleaning device has a distribution surface (2) and connected to a tubular shaft (3), with a reservoir storing the liquid and formed as a pressurized container and subjected to excess pressure by a pump. A valve (5) is connected into an outlet line (6) and to the reservoir (4), actuated via a handle (7). The handle is movable between a delivery and a closure position of the valve. The handle is formed as a press button and moveably guided in the shaft opening. The valve is arranged in the tubular interior of the shaft and connected via an actuation rod (8) to the handle.
