Abstract
A flexible bottle which serves as a fluid cleaning reservoir includes a cap that has a crosshead supporting a cleaning fluid absorbing material. A flow passageway is provided in the cap and feeds cleaning fluid to the absorbing material when the bottle is squeezed and the cap is distorted to open the flow passageway. The absorbent material has a longitudinal slit in its end surface through which a windshield wiper blade can be moved for cleaning the blade. A cover is mounted on the crosshead when the tool is stored. The device can also be used to clean the windshield.
