A surface treating implement, comprises a body including:— a container receiver;a nozzle assembly comprising a fluid conduit fluidly connected to the container receiver;a container mounted to the container receiver, containing a predetermined amount of a treating composition and having a dispensing opening in fluid communication with the fluid conduit;wherein the body is associated with a handle which includes at least a portion of an activation means for the implement, characterized in that the fluid conduit includes a valve, wherein the valve is operable by a container member attached to and/or extending from the container, adjacent the dispensing opening.

1. A surface treating implement, comprising: a removable pressurized container comprising a valve cup and a protruding valve stem with a dispensing opening, said container containing a treatment composition; a container member adjacent the dispensing opening having a cylindrical base attached to the valve cup and extending therefrom and at least one slot and horn, or at least one bayonet protrusion;a body which includes: a handle extending outwardly from the body; a container receiver for positioning the pressurized container in an inverted orientation with the valve stem downward; a nozzle assembly which is pivotably mounted and includes a fluid conduit; a shaped/orifice plate having a pilot pathway or aperture passing therethrough and a rotatably mounted locking latch which is biased into a locked position which locks the pivotable movement of the nozzle assembly from pivoting towards the container receiver when the pressurized container is not present within the surface treating implement or when the container member is not in proper engagement with the locking latch to disengage the locking latch from its locked position,wherein when the pressurized container is inserted into the container receiver such that a part of the container member is adjacent to or contacts the shaped/orifice plate and the horn or bayonet protrusion of the container member extends through the pilot pathway or aperture in the shaped/orifice plate, the rotation of the pressurized container and the container member causes the horn or bayonet protrusion of the container member to rotate the locking latch from its locked position to an unlocked position and to thereby release the nozzle assembly allowing the pivot to be operable and pivotable towards the valve stem of the pressurized container, and thereby causing the treatment composition to be dispensed from the container and through the fluid conduit, and in which the container member is oriented with respect to the shaped/orifice plate such that the pressurized container cannot be withdrawn from the container receiver. 2. A surface treating implement according to claim 1, in which the removable pressurized container is an aerosol canister. 3. A surface treating implement according to claim 1, wherein the body further includes: a manifold assembly in fluid communication with the fluid conduit, and with a nozzle assembly. 4. A surface treatment implement according to claim 1, wherein the body further includes: a brush. 5. A surface treatment implement according to claim 1, wherein the container member includes a bayonet projection. 6. A surface treatment implement according to claim 1, wherein the container includes a horn. 7. A surface treating implement according to claim 1, wherein the handle further comprises an operating button which is mechanically connected to the nozzle assembly. 8. A surface treating implement according to claim 7, wherein, when the operating button is pressed, the nozzle assembly is caused to pivot when the locking latch is disengaged by the container member from its locked position. 9. A method for the treatment of a fabric, a textile material or a carpet, which method comprises the steps of: a) applying a composition from a surface treatment implement which comprises a removable pressurized container comprising a valve cup and a protruding valve stem with a dispensing opening, said container containing a treatment composition; a container member adjacent the dispensing opening having a cylindrical base attached to the valve cup and extending therefrom and at least one slot and horn, or at least one bayonet protrusion; a body which includes: a handle extending outwardly from the body; a container receiver for positioning the pressurized container in an inverted orientation with the valve stem downward; a nozzle assembly which is pivotably mounted and includes a fluid conduit; a shaped/orifice plate having a pilot pathway or aperture passing therethrough and a rotatably mounted locking latch which is biased into a locked position which locks the pivotable movement of the nozzle assembly from pivoting towards the container receiver when the pressurized container is not present within the surface treating implement or when the container member is not in proper engagement with the locking latch to disengage the locking latch from its locked position,wherein when the pressurized container is inserted into the container receiver such that a part of the container member is adjacent to or contacts the shaped/orifice plate and the horn or bayonet protrusion of the container member extends through the pilot pathway or aperture in the shaped/orifice plate, the rotation of the pressurized container and the container member causes the horn or bayonet protrusion of the container member to rotate the locking latch from its locked position to an unlocked position and to thereby release the nozzle assembly allowing the pivot to be operable and pivotable towards the valve stem of the pressurized container, and thereby causing the treatment composition to be dispensed from the container and through the fluid conduit, and in which the container member is oriented with respect to the shaped/orifice plate such that the pressurized container cannot be withdrawn from the container receiver to a stain present on treated fabric, textile material or carpet,b) allowing the composition to absorb the stain; and,c) removing the composition from the treated fabric, textile material or carpet. 10. A method according to claim 9 in which the removal step (c) comprises removing the said composition with a vacuum cleaner.
