Abstract

Multi-functional cleaning and floor care system, has a reservoir assembly and wet/dry vacuum assembly. The reservoir assembly has a wheeled chassis and a reservoir defining an interior space for holding a fresh cleaning liquid, its upper end defining an opening. The reservoir assembly further has a spigot fluidly connected to the reservoir interior space, with the spigot having a valve that is adjustable between a fully open position and a fully closed position. The wet/dry vacuum assembly is removably positioned on top of the reservoir, and has a vacuum recovery tank and a vacuum motor assembly. Each of the reservoir assembly and the wet/dry vacuum assembly is operable both when the wet/dry vacuum assembly is positioned on top of the reservoir, and when the wet/dry vacuum assembly is separated from the reservoir.
