ABSTRACT:
A hand held vacuum with a housing having a handle adapted to enable a user to manually adjust an angle of contact between the hand held vacuum and the surface being cleaned is provided. An arcuate gliding surface is associated with the housing and adapted to contact and glide over the surface being cleaned. A fluid discharge aperture associated with the arcuate gliding surface is adapted to discharge fluid adjacent the surface being cleaned. The arcuate gliding surface is adapted to selectively locate the fluid discharge aperture in a position in contact with the surface being cleaned and in a position away from the surface being cleaned by altering the angle of the hand held vacuum while maintaining the arcuate gliding surface in contact against the surface being cleaned.
