Abstract
An adapter for converting an existing under screen cleaning apparatus from one which uses a solvent to a solventless under screen cleaning apparatus. The adapter fits within the vacuum channel and between the blades of a known under screen cleaning apparatus.

An interior hole within the adapter connects the slots with a vacuum outlet of the vacuum channel. Optionally, suction is applied to the slots by pumping air from the vacuum outlet.
