Claims16
A cleaning trowel, comprising:
- a generally planar base having a first side and a second side, a flexible section extending from a first end of the base, a blade section extending from a second end of the base opposite the first end of the base, and a mounting section positioned between the flexible section and the blade section, the flexible section and the blade section being formed from different materials than each other, wherein the flexible section includes a plurality of generally linear grooves forming areas of reduced thickness to allow for flexing, the generally flexible section between the grooves having a generally uniform thickness, and wherein the blade section has a proximate end and a distal end and decreases in thickness from the proximate end to the distal end;
- a handling device on the first side of the base at the mounting section, the handling device being a fixed handle and including a handle base and a gripping portion, wherein the handle base is removably secured to and in contact with the mounting section, and the gripping portion extends from the handle base at an angle such that the gripping portion is spaced from the base, the fixed handle housing a power source;
- and
- a cleaning pad receiving region on the base.
