vacuum cleaning
Explanation:
Given that it doesn't really make sense to clean "αναρροφήσεις", I'd have to say that this is a bad way of simply writting "vacuum cleaning" or "cleaning via suction"

I hadn't seen Andy's other questions when I answered this one in order to have more context. This could actually be "cleaning of sunction accumulations" or something along that line. But, more context would definitely be great.
