Abstract
An extractor cleaning machine includes a base or foot, a handle pivotally coupled to the foot, and a suction source in fluid communication with a suction nozzle on the foot. A distributor is in fluid communication with a distribution nozzle on the foot and is operable to distribute a cleaning fluid to the surface through the distribution nozzle. A recovery tank is removably coupled to the foot and is in fluid communication with the suction source. The recovery tank receives and stores the fluid and dirt drawn through the suction nozzle when the recovery tank is in an operating position. A recovery tank handle is formed as a single unitary component with a recovery tank lid to allow a user to uncouple the recovery tank from the foot to empty the recovery tank. The recovery tank also includes a pour spout.
