1. A head for a cleaning implement, said head having a longitudinal centerline and comprising:
- A front edge having a width, said width being divisible into four quadrants, two outer quadrants and two inner quadrants therebetween, one of said inner quadrants and one of said outer quadrants being disposed on each side of said longitudinal centerline; and
at least two nozzles juxtaposed with said front edge of said head, one said nozzle being disposed in each outer quadrant of said head, each said nozzle being oriented towards said longitudinal centerline to spray a fluid theretowards.

Abstract
A plural nozzle cleaning implement. The nozzles are oriented inwardly, to provide a converging spray pattern. The converging spray pattern provides more coverage of the target surface, which increases residence time of fluid sprayed onto debris.
