A vacuum cleaner powered by compressed air includes a canister forming an
internal collection chamber. The vacuum cleaner includes a drain at the
bottom of the collection chamber from which liquid and debris can be
drained, and may also provide for pressurizing the collection chamber for
forcing collected liquid from the drain to a liquid drain or collecting
drum or tank. This makes draining the collection chamber easier than in
other vacuum cleaners. Preferably the bottom of the chamber slopes toward
the drain. The chamber may be pressurized by the compressed air used to
power the vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner may also include a separate
pressure tank for holding a degreaser, detergent, or soap which can be
sprayed onto the residue of a liquid spill afier the liquid has been
sucked up. The vacuum cleaner may includes wheels and a handle for easy
movement.
