Abstract
A cleaning accessory for use in cleaning debris from the bottom of a pool, such as a swimming pool, includes a tapered nozzle inlet and a nozzle outlet that are fluidly coupled together by a nozzle cavity. The nozzle outlet is configured to be attached to a vacuum by a flexible hose. The body also includes an attachment cavity for attachment to a pole member. As such, the cleaning accessory allows a user to stand near the edge of the pool while controlling the movement of the nozzle inlet to vacuum debris that has accumulated in an area between the pool's bottom and sidewall.
