A floor tool

A floor tool 10 for a surface treating appliance, such as a vacuum cleaner comprises a main body (12, fig 1) connected to a conduit (14, fig 1) . The main body (12, fig 1) comprises a first suction channel 22 and a second suction channel 24 in fluid communication with the first suction channel 22. In use, a relatively low vacuum is generated in the first suction channel 22 which draws a first dirt-bearing fluid flow into the main body (12, fig 1), and a relatively high vacuum is generated in the second suction channel 24, which draws a second dirt-bearing fluid flow into the main body (12, fig 1) and receives the first dirt-bearing fluid flow from the first suction channel 22. To maintain the pressure differences between the suction channels 22, 24, the main body (12, fig 1) comprises flexible floor engaging means 32, 34 located about the suction channels 22, 24 and between the first suction channel 22 and the second suction channel 24.
