Cleaning apparatus with rotatable endless belt

An improved cleaning apparatus for cleaning a surface, comprising in combination:

• a surface cleaning had having a frame supporting a plurality of rotatable means for one of applying liquid to a surface to be cleaned and absorbing liquid and contaminants form the surface to be cleaned, said plurality of continuous rotatable absorbent means each having means for removing liquid and contaminants therefrom which has been absorbed form the surface to be cleaned, and means, associated with said removing means, for storing the liquid and contaminants removed form said plurality of continuous rotatable absorbent means;
• means for rotating said plurality of continuous rotatable absorbent means;
• a handle member defining a longitudinal axis;
• and
• connection means for connecting one end of said handle member to said surface cleaning head whereby said handle member can be used to operate said surface cleaning head in a direction along said longitudinal axis;
• wherein said plurality of continuous rotatable absorbent means are rotatable in directions substantially transverse to the longitudinal operational direction defined by said handle member with at least one rotatable absorbent means rotating in a first direction and at least a second rotatable absorbent means rotating in a second opposite direction.
