A hot cleaning apparatus for various surfaces, the apparatus comprising a main body, including a steam generating and delivering means adapted to produce steam and pressure and high temperature, and, on a top part thereof, a jointed joining part, said apparatus further comprising:
- a thermally insulated lengthened hollowed stiff element;
- an ergonomic longitudinally hollowed control and command means;
- a flexible pipeline;
- a metallic heating plate with an electric resistance;
- a metallic lower heated base for supporting and heating a cleaning cloth;
- a first valve means;
- a second valve means;
- a plurality of nozzles;
- a plurality of steam spreaders;
- wherein said lengthened hollowed element is joined in a communicating and removable way with a lower part of the lengthened hollowed element to an upper opening of the main body, and with its upper part in a communicating and removable manner, to a first end portion of the ergonomic longitudinally hollowed control and command means, said first flexible pipeline being connected with an upper end portion of the first flexible pipeline to an other and portion of the control and command means, and, with a lower end portion, to the main body through the first valve means, said heating plate with electric resistance and said heated lower base being arranged into contact and in succession below said steam generating and delivering means, said steam spreaders being arranged in to the main body turned on the cleaning cloth supported by the heated plate and being connected at its inlet with the upper opening of the main body, said front nozzles being arranged lower in a front part of said main body and being connected at inlets with the second valve means, wherein, the steam generated by the steam generator means, if the control and command means is joined to the first pipe, when the first valve means is opened, passes through the first flexible pipeline, the control and command means, the lengthened hollow element, the upper opening, and the spreaders and arrives to the cleaning cloth supported by the heated plate;
- or, if the control and command means is not joined to the lengthened hollowed element, the steam passes through the first flexible pipeline, the control and command means and goes out from the first opened end portion thereof, whereas, when the second valve means is opened, selectively or at the same moment to the first valve means, the steam generated by the steam generator arrives also or only to the front nozzles for a direct jet on the surface to be cleaned.
