Floor machine splash guard

An adjustable splash guard for preventing debris from being thrown from a floor machine apparatus, the guard comprising:

• a flexible waterproof elongated strip having two ends capable of overlapping and having an overall length of the elongated strip greater than a peripheral base of the apparatus so that the elongated strip is capable of encircling the apparatus in a closed wall configuration adapting to the general shape of the peripheral base of the apparatus and slightly larger than the peripheral base of the apparatus so that the elongated strip does not interfere with the operation of the apparatus, having a width of the elongated strip, at least as wide as the height of the peripheral base of the apparatus so that the elongated strip is capable of encircling the apparatus to form an enclosed wall extending from the floor up to the height of the peripheral base of the apparatus and thereby capable of retaining splashes of floor treating matter from the apparatus inside the elongated strip, and the elongated strip having at least one straight edge along the length of the elongated strip, which straight edge forms the bottom edge of the elongated strip in use so that the elongated strip is capable of sliding across the floor as the apparatus moves with the bottom edge of the elongated strip maintaining contact with the floor along the entire length of the bottom edge of the elongated strip;
• a connecting means for connecting the overlapping ends of the elongated strip in an adjustable and size selectable manner, so that the elongated strip is capable of forming a desired size and maintaining the shape and size while being pushed along the floor by the apparatus, and the connected means is capable of being disconnected and the elongated strip flattened out when not in use.
