Accessory tool for extraction cleaner

An extraction cleaner comprising:

• a housing;
• a fluid delivery system carried by the housing and operable for dispensing a cleaning fluid;
• a fluid recovery system carried by the body and operable for recovering the cleaning fluid and debris entrained therein;
• an accessory hose connectable to said extraction cleaner;
• and
• an accessory tool connectable to the accessory hose, the accessory tool including:
• a tool body having a foot plate, the tool body defining a fluid pathway, an airflow pathway, and a suction nozzle in fluid communication with the airflow pathway, wherein the tool body is configured to connect to the accessory hose to fluidly connect the fluid pathway to the fluid delivery system and to fluidly connect the airflow pathway to the fluid recovery system;
• a fluid reservoir carried by the tool body and in fluid communication with the fluid pathway such that the fluid reservoir is supplied with the cleaning fluid;
• and
• a porous spray bar connected to the tool body adjacent to the fluid reservoir and surrounded by the suction nozzle, wherein the porous spray bar is configured to direct the cleaning fluid from the fluid reservoir onto a surface to be cleaned.

An accessory tool for use with an extraction cleaner and an accessory hose connectable to the extraction cleaner, the accessory tool comprising:

• a tool body defining a fluid pathway, an airflow pathway, and a suction nozzle connected to the airflow pathway, wherein the tool body is configured to connect to said extraction cleaner via said accessory hose and includes a foot plate forming a working surface, the suction nozzle includes a continuous suction channel that opens to the working surface of the foot plate, and the fluid pathway is configured to connect to a fluid delivery system aboard said extraction cleaner via said accessory hose, and wherein the airflow pathway is configured to connect to a fluid recovery system via said accessory hose;
• a fluid reservoir carried by the tool body and in fluid communication with the fluid pathway;
• and
• a porous spray bar constructed of a sintered plastic material, connected to the tool body adjacent to the fluid reservoir, and surrounded by the suction nozzle, wherein a flow rate of cleaning fluid through the porous spray bar is at least about 50 milliliters per minute (ml/min) and less than about 300 ml/min.
