A pool cleaning brush comprising:
- a longitudinally extending handle;
- a transversely projecting mounting bar forming a sector of a circle to form a distally facing convex side;
- a backing strip on the mounting bar;
- a plurality of longitudinally projecting, discrete bristles having a cross section no greater than 0.75 mm, arrayed laterally along the length of the mounting bar and configured with the medially disposed bristles projecting longitudinally and bristles at the opposite ends of the mounting bar projecting longitudinally and laterally outwardly;
