Abstract

An apparatus for removing ice, frost or bugs from a glass surface includes a bottle having an outer surface and an end. The apparatus also includes a base attached to the end of the bottle and washer interposed between the bottle and the base. The apparatus further includes a guard extending from the washer so as to define a space interposed between the bottle and the guard. In addition, the apparatus includes a plurality of gripping members extending outwardly from the outer surface of the bottle. The gripping members increase the ergonomic efficiency of the apparatus. The base of the apparatus has flutes extending therefrom for the removal of ice or frost from a glass surface. Alternatively, the base can have a fabric attached thereto for the removal of bugs from a glass surface.
