Morphology

spray + extraction + cleaner

The phrase is a straightforward noun-noun-noun compound: 'cleaner' names the device and 'spray' + 'extraction' describe the cleaning method (spraying a solution and extracting it). Although 'extraction' is slightly technical, the compositional pattern is regular and a B1 learner who knows the constituent words can infer it refers to a cleaning machine that sprays and removes dirt.

Etymology

Spray extraction cleaner names a machine that first uses spray to send cleaning liquid into a carpet or seat and then uses extraction to pull the dirty water out by sucking it away. That's why the name means a machine that 'removes deep dirt' from carpets, upholstery, and mattresses.
