Multi-directional wiping elements and device using the same

A device comprising a cleaning head comprising:

• a) squeegee elements, each of the squeegee elements protruding upward from a support surface that is substantially planar and having squeegee segments with elongated walls that intersect at a common location and with each of the squeegee segments having a terminus end to form a corresponding intersecting top wiping edge and three or more discrete side wiping edges;
• b) a curved squeegee element protruding from the support surface to provide a curved top wiping edge;
• and
• c) bristles protruding from the support surface and flanking the intersecting squeegee segments and the curved squeegee element.

A toothbrush comprising:

• a) squeegee elements, each of the squeegee elements having three or more squeegee segments that protrude upward from a support surface and intersect at a common location with each of the squeegee segments having a discrete terminus end and form top wiping edges that are substantially parallel to the support surface and side wiping edges that are substantially perpendicular to the support surface;
• b) a curved squeegee element with curved walls protruding from the support surface to provide a curved top wiping edge;
• and
• c) bristles protruding from the support surface a portion of which flank the squeegee segments and a portion of which are surrounded by the curved squeegee element.
