ABSTRACT:
This disclosure relates to an article for cleaning uneven, variable geometry surfaces of electronic devices, internal electronic assemblies, or the like. The article comprises a housing having opposing faces with a support mounted to a first of the faces and a cleaning surface mounted to a second and opposite face of the housing. The cleaning surface includes a substantially flexible material formed in multiple, alternating patterns comprising at least one row of non-continuous, relatively tall triangular-like spikes separated by a plurality of rows of continuous, relatively short triangular-like spikes. Upon grasping of the support by a user, pressing the cleaning surface into contact with a surface to be cleaned, and moving the article along and against the surface, the relatively tall triangular-like spikes engage generally low portions of the surface, whereas the relatively short triangular-like spikes engage generally higher portions of the surface so as to remove dirt and debris from the low to the high portions of the surface, respectively.
