Cleaning device for infant and toddler drinking cups

Abstract

A cleaning device for infant and toddler drinking cups. The device is configured in such a manner as to allow a thorough cleaning of “sippy cup” lids, including tiny apertures and hard to reach crevices which cannot be cleaned by ordinary brushes or sponges. The device is composed of two parts. On one end of the device is a flat, oblong tip on which a disposable sponge has been placed. The sponge can be used to clean the inside of a sippy cup lid, such as the mouthpiece. The other end consists of a flexible, curved tip with a pointed end, which can reach into and scrape clean small apertures and crevices, such as the inside of a flow intake valve of a sippy cup lid. The curved tip also includes as disposable sponge for additional cleaning. The cleaning device includes replacement sponges, allowing the device to be used on an ongoing basis.
