1. A surface cleaning apparatus, comprising:
a housing at least partially defining an air pathway, the housing comprising a platform and partition, the housing defining a receiver;
a fluid delivery system comprising a supply tank with a side wall and a bottom wall, the supply tank adapted to be selectively received in the receiver and for storing cleaning fluid, and a fluid distributor for delivering the cleaning fluid from the supply tank to a surface;
a motor/fan assembly provided within the air pathway for generating an airflow through the air pathway wherein the motor/fan assembly transfers heat to air moving through the air pathway and removes heated air from the air pathway, the air pathway having an inlet upstream of the motor/fan assembly and an outlet downstream of the motor/fan assembly; and
a duct downstream of the motor/fan assembly and upstream of the outlet and having a section in heat exchange relationship with the supply tank, to heat cleaning fluid in the supply tank by heat transfer from the heated air, the section at least partially formed between a portion of the supply tank and a portion of the housing when the supply tank is received in the receiver.
