7. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your sprayer:

• Nozzle Cleaning: If the nozzle becomes clogged, remove it and clean it thoroughly with water. A small brush or pin can help clear blockages.
• External Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the sprayer with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
