Abstract

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a cleaning device, the cleaning device including a body and a floor brush. The floor brush is connected to one end of the device body; the device body is provided with a sewage storage box, and the box body of the sewage storage box is at least for storing and/or filtering garbage suctioned by the floor brush. When the cleaning device is tilted or laid flat for use, no sewage may flow back into the motor from the sewage storage box, which prevents causing the motor to stop or be damaged, and ensures a normal use of the cleaning device.
