Abstract
A device is provided for restoring the cleaning properties of worn vehicle windshield wiper blades. A notch in the body of the hand-held device accepts the working edge of the windshield wiper blade. A sharp steel blade recessed in the notch is thus placed in transverse contact with the working edge of the windshield wiper blade. As the device is drawn along the length of the windshield wiper blade, wiper blade material is removed as needed to restore its original sharp cross-section and smoothness, and hence, its cleaning ability.
