Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a head removably attached to a body, wherein the head is in fluid communication with the body and is configured to direct steam from the body into contact with a cleaning surface;
- and
- a scrubber member connected to the body and configured to pivot between a retracted state and a deployed state;, wherein attachment of the head to the body prevents the scrubber member from reaching the cleaning surface and detachment of the head from the body allows the scrubber member to reach the cleaning surface.
An apparatus comprising:
- a head removably attached to a body, wherein the head is in fluid communication with the body and is configured to discharge steam from the body through a first head outlet and a second head outlet,
- wherein the first head outlet extends lengthwise along a first axis of the head and wherein the second head outlet extends lengthwise along a second axis of the head, and
- wherein when the first and second axes intersect at a first angle, the first head outlet is configured to discharge steam, and when the first and second axes intersect at a second angle, the second head outlet is configured to discharge steam, the first angle is different from the second angle.
An apparatus comprising:
- a body having an inlet about a first end of the body and an outlet about a second end of the body;
- and
- a head having an opening and a recess, the head configured to releasably couple with the body such that the first end of the body is received in the recess and the second end of the body is received in the opening, wherein the system is configured to discharge steam from the inlet through the outlet and into the opening.
