Abstract (en)

In the context of surface cleaning, a wet cleaning nozzle is provided, wherein at least one contacting area (92) on at least one surface contacting element (90) of the wet cleaning nozzle defines a surface interface level of the wet cleaning nozzle. The wet cleaning nozzle is further equipped with a wetting arrangement (42) that is arranged and configured to enable a supply of liquid to at least one area of a surface to be cleaned by releasing liquid at a liquid release position (P<sub>1</sub>) that is at a level of less than 2 mm above the surface interface level. Having the relatively low level of the liquid release position (P<sub>1</sub>) is a measure aimed at ensuring that the liquid that is let out of the wet cleaning nozzle towards the surface to be cleaned during operation actually ends up on the surface.
