NOTE: The best angle for spraying water against a
cleaning surface is 45°. Spraying head on tends to cause
dirt particles to embed in the surface. When working on
vertical surfaces, it is best to apply detergent starting at
the bottom and working upwards which will prevent the
detergent from sliding down and causingstreaks.
