Abstract
A wand for a carpet soil extractor includes a tubular member telescopically received within a sleeve. The sleeve has a bent handle. The sleeve and tubular member are rotatably adjustable about a common axis such that the handle of the sleeve may be made to lie in a common plane with the sleeve and tube. A nozzle assembly at the end of the tube is pivotally and adjustably mounted so that the angle of the nozzle with respect to the tube may be adjusted and secured.
