Abstract
A hand tool especially adapted for cleaning automotive windows and windshields has a plate set in the head of a handle and provided with an ice-scraping edge. A squeegee, also set in the head, has a blade for wiping away slush and fog as well as ice broken loose by the edged plate. The rigid plate has a snap fit into the head and a lock for holding the flexible squeegee against displacement. The plate and the blade have strategic locations on the head in relation to each other such as to eliminate the need for tool turn-over or other difficult, time-consuming maneuvers during successive scraping and wiping actions across the surface being cleaned.
