Abstract: The cleaning tool has a side of nylon mesh which provides a grate-like surface for the removal of frost or the like off the inner surface of a windshield. The opposite side of the tool has extensions which project from a chamois-like surface. The extensions include a squeegee for removal of moisture and frost dislodged by the mesh and a hard plastic scraper that can remove ice off the external surface of the windshield. The cleaning tool, in an alternate embodiment can be presented in a mitt configuration and may only have a single extension from the chamois-like surface of the tool.
