| Abstract: |
This spout cleaning tool presents a sponge-like foam rubber tip on a flat handle for cleaning a spout. In the preferred embodiment this tip is tapered and provides opposing flat sides, a rounded side, and a hard abrading edge. Additionally, this device is produced by first adhering a tapered foam rubber member around the extremity of a handle. Then, through the application of heat and pressure, a hard edge is formed while sealing the adjoining edges of the foam member.
