Claims18
A steam mop comprising:
- a mop head attached to a support arm;
- a feed roller having a cleaning pad wrapped around the feed roller disposed on one side of the mop head;
- a take up roller for receiving the cleaning pad as it travels from the feed roller to the take up roller so that a used cleaning section of the cleaning pad is transferred to the take up roller and an unused cleaning section of the cleaning pad is fed from the feed roller for contact with a cleaning area;
- a brush carried by the mop head, disposed adjacent to the take up roller and in contact with the cleaning pad so as to remove debris from the cleaning pad as the cleaning pad is transferred to the take up roller;
- a water reservoir carried by the support arm and in fluid communication with a cleaning reservoir so that cleaning fluid contained in the cleaning reservoir can be mixed with water contained in the water reservoir and delivered to a spray nozzle attached to the mop head and in fluid communication with the water reservoir for spraying that water and cleaner mixture onto a cleaning area;
- an ultra violet light carried by the mop head for projecting ultraviolet light;
- and,
- a vacuum assembly carried by the support arm for drawing dirt removed from the cleaning pad by the brush that is deposited in a dirt collection tray included in the mop head into a dirt storage bin carried by the support arm.

- a pump carried by the support arm for forcing water from the water reservoir to a spray nozzle in fluid communication with the water reservoir to apply water to the cleaning area;
- and,
- a vacuum assembly carried by the support arm for drawing dirt removed from the cleaning pad by a brush that is deposited in a dirt collection tray included in the mop head into a dirt storage bin carried by the support arm.
