Abstract:

A fork scrubber is provided with zigzag bristles for effectively cleaning a utensil such as a fork or the like. The zigzag bristles are mounted within an oval tube into which a fork is inserted. The bristles are oriented perpendicular to the direction of insertion of the fork. As the fork is inserted, the zigzag bristles are pulled within slots between tines of the fork. Where the bristles provide sharp vertex points for scraping the inner edges of the tines. The bristles each have an oblong or rectangular cross-section having wide side surfaces. The wide side surfaces are oriented parallel to the direction of insertion of the fork to provide optimum resiliency. The fork scrubber thus provides a simple, inexpensive, and convenient tool for cleaning forks or other utensils having hard-to-reach places.
