Counter/table top cleaning pad-squeegee wiper combination and method of use

A trowel device for cleaning a counter or table top then rotating to dry the cleaned counter or table top, said device comprising:

• (a) a handle component attached to a rectangular-shaped, planar base component, said handle component attaching at opposed ends to the planar base component;
• (b) a replaceable cleaning pad component at least temporarily adhered to a bottom surface of the planar base component;
• (c) a channel extending along one lateral side of the planar base component, said channel adapted for holding a squeegee wiper component that can be swirled about to dry the counter or table top;
• and
• (d) the squeegee wiper component at least temporarily extending from the channel at an angle substantially parallel to the planar base component and at an angle substantially perpendicular to a centerline through the handle component, said cleaning pad component being sufficiently spaced from the squeegee wiper component so as to not interfere with the squeegee wiper component when the device is used for drying the counter or table top by tilting the device at an angle greater than 0 and less than about 90 degrees relative to the counter or table top.
