Abstract
A cleaning device is provided for cleaning a teat of an animal. The cleaning device has a housing with a first wall, a second wall and teat receiving passage. The first wall is spaced from the second wall to form a space between the first and second walls. An outlet opening is formed in the device in flow communication with the teat receiving passage and the space between the first and second walls. A feed conduit is in flow communication with the space between the first and second walls for supplying a cleaning medium to the cleaning device. A flow guiding member is located in the space to guide the flow of cleaning medium through the space to the outlet opening. The first and second walls preferably include spaced apart flanges extending substantially parallel to each other to form the outlet opening.
