Has there even been a wet-pick-up machine in which the "Wet" was deposited into a bag?

The only machine that come to mind is the in-famous Hoover Floor-Washer of 1959-1963, In which both Solution and grey-watter was stored & deposited into a Vinyl bag (How did it deposit into a Vinyl bag when vinyl is impermeable to air)?

 

I thought it would be unique & interesting to have a bagged floor-scrubber of sorts, Imagine what a wet-pick-up Kirby would be like?

Never heard of such a thing, and I'm not really sure how it would work, other than basically using a vinyl bag as a soft-walled "tank". I think that's what the bagged floor washers do, actually.

Any other sort of bag would either disintegrate, not keep in the sog, or be air-impermeable, I'd think.

The new Numatic microfibre bags allow air and water to pass through, whilst the bag remains intact.

Vax 121 old-school re-useable cloth bag would so an ok job I'd imagine, if it would bend around the float assembly

Hmm well i don't know but I do know there at one time there was a water vac that also had a paper bag option. Thermax had a cloth and paper bag option.
