Abstract

A cleaning device for cleaning the hooked portion of hook and loop fasteners includes a body member defining a curved surface on which is mounted a strip of hooked fastener material. A debris collecting surface of sticky, resilient material is disposed adjacent one edge of said hooked fastener material in substantially tangential alignment therewith. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the sticky surface is disposed on a replaceable, rotatable cylindrical roll. The repeated stroking movement of the hooked fastener material over the surface to be cleaned effects a loosening of debris which is collected on the sticky surface.
