Abstract

A cleaning device is provided. The cleaning device includes a brush member and a handle. The brush member extends from the handle. The brush member includes a first side, a second side opposite the first side, a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge. A distance between the first edge and the second edge is substantially greater than a distance between the first side and the second side. Therefore, the brush member may have a thin profile and resemble a blade. A plurality of bristles extend from at least the first side, the second side and one of the first edge and the second edge of the brush member.

The brush member 14 extends from the handle 10. The brush member 14 includes a first side, a second side opposite the first side, a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge. A distance between the first edge and the second edge is substantially greater than a distance between the first side and the second side. Therefore, the brush member 14 may have a thin profile and resemble a blade. A plurality of bristles 30 extend from at least the first side, the second side and one of the first edge and the second edge of the brush member 14.

[0014] The brush member 14 may be used to clean in between the intergluteal cleft. The brush may be about 4 to about 6 inches long. In certain embodiments, the first side and the second side may be substantially flat. Further, the plurality of bristles 30 may extend from the first side, the second side, the first edge and the second edge. In certain embodiments, the brush member 14 may curve, which contours to the intergluteal cleft. In such embodiments, the first side edge and the second side edge may from the curve and may include a constant radius of curvature forming a bow shape. The first side edge and the second side curve with one another.

[0015] The handle 12 of the present invention is used to manipulate the brush member 14. The handle may be about 8 to 12 inches long. In certain embodiments, the handle 12 may also include a curve.
