Clean both the level and the object prior to taking your reading.
Dirt and debris can throw off the level, which can be sensitive. Just brushing a
gloved hand across the level and object can be enough to ensure an accurate
reading.If you use your level often, remove any accumulated dirt on its edges.

Position your level in the center of your object.
Your horizontal object might be a couple of bricks, a framed picture, a deck, or
even the ground. Meanwhile, a vertical object could be a wall, cabinet, doorframe,
or fencepost. First, check whether the bubble is within the guidelines, to its right or
left (horizontal) or the top or bottom (vertical).
• If your object is very wide or tall, you may find that an average-sized spirit
level cannot give you an accurate reading on its own. In this case, the easiest
solution is to find a larger level. Consider investing in a level at least 1 meter
(3.3 feet) long for the most versatility. Another option is to rest the level on top
of a long or tall straightedge during your measurement.
