Abstract
A multi-purpose brush incorporating structure which permits the selective performance of a plurality of cleaning operations with a single brush is disclosed. The brush includes a body with depending side and end legs and which has a first series of relatively soft flexible bristles thereon and a second series of bristles thereon which are shorter and stiffer. The body also has a roughened area comprising a plurality of short, stubby projections disposed on a part of the top surface of the brush and at least a part of the side legs. The body also has opposed depending end legs, at least one of which terminates in a tapered or sharpened point and an apertured mounting leg to facilitate storage of the brush when not in use. In another embodiment the roughened area is disposed on one of the side legs and an apertured mounting and cleaning extension extends outwardly from one of said end legs. This extension tapers to a sharpened distal end for cleaning purposes.
