Provided is a floor surface cleaning apparatus with which a reduction in the size of the apparatus can be realized, the driving efficiency can be increased, and wastewater on a floor surface can be reliably retrieved regardless of the state of the floor surface. A floor surface cleaning apparatus (10) includes a water collecting nozzle (18), rotating brushes (26, 26A, 26B) that can retain water, and a water collecting box (16) that has a pooling portion (31) in which wastewater can be pooled. When the rotating brushes (26) are rotationally driven, wastewater on the floor surface (23) is absorbed and retained by the rotating brushes (26), and the wastewater retained in the rotating brushes (26) can be made into a mist and flung upwards by a centrifugal force generated by rotation of the rotating brushes (26) and passed through an opening (177) and a suction port (168) and pooled in the pooling portion (31) in the water collecting box (16). |
