Abstract: |
The present glass cleaning tool is a small, handheld, easily stored device having a self-contained supply of cleaning fluid stored therein and an applicator head for applying the fluid to a glass surface. The applicator head is stored within the storage handle of the device when the device is not in use. An attachment mechanism extends between the storage handle and the applicator head to secure the head to the handle and to allow the head to be extended from its storage location within the handle to its deployed position across the end of the handle, with the handle and head forming a T-shaped configuration. The device is particularly well-suited for carriage in an interior storage area of a motor vehicle for use in cleaning cigarette smoke film, fingerprint smears, and other contaminants from the interior of the windshield and other glass surfaces in the vehicle.
