Claims15
An accessory (400) for cleaning a number of surfaces and adapted to clean the surface of shutter slats comprising:
- (a) an upper side and a lower side;
- (b) an outer transverse profile which is uniform along its entire length;
- and
- (c) two or more outer surfaces at each side of the slat intended for cleaning respectively by the surface cleaning accessory, wherein each of the outer surfaces intended for cleaning, on each side, is on a transverse plane that is different than the transverse plane of each adjacent outer surface intended for cleaning;
- wherein the cleaning accessory comprises a body comprising at least two surface-opposing sides for active cleaning, wherein each side has a plurality of surfaces used for cleaning whose combination creates a transverse profile matching the transverse profile of outer surfaces fo the slat intended for cleaning by the shutter slat cleaning accessory, and wherein:
- (a) the body of the accessory (400) has a generally C-shaped configuration consisting of an upper portion (403) and a lower portion (401) connected there-between at one end by a connector (405) creating a single unit;
- (b) the upper portion comprises a cleaning surface at its bottom side (404) adapted to clean the top side of the slat;
- (c) the lower portion comprises a cleaning surface at its top side (404) adapted to clean the bottom side of the slat;
- and
- (d) the lower portion and the upper portion are spaced-apart via space (407) produced there-between, and the transverse cross-sectional profile of the space corresponds to the transverse profile that creates the outer surfaces of the slat;
- wherein the body of the accessory (400) allows manual gipping;
- wherein during cleaning, the surfaces used for cleaning come in contact with the outer surfaces intended for cleaning, of the entire width of the slat, and wherein each cleaning surface comes om contact with the outer surface of the slat that is intended for cleaning and corresponds to the same surface used for cleaning intended to clean it;
- and
- wherein the cleaning accessory operator can clean the outer surfaces intended for cleaning via right and/or left movement of the accessory on the slat over its entire length.
