Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to cleaning machines and methods of use to clean flooring and other surfaces. One configuration is directed to a cleaning machine that utilizes a motor to drive an interchangeable cleaning drum about a rotational axis parallel to the surface being cleaned. The cleaning machine can be operable to clean a surface, such as a flooring surface or other surface (e.g., walls, ceilings, etc.) without a vacuum, pump, solution tank, or recovery tank. The cleaning machine may contact the surface being cleaned at replaceable glides disposed at or near a distal end of a cleaning head of the cleaning machine.
