BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The cleaner comb was invented to fill the need for cleaning debris from VELCRO (hook/loop fastener material). VELCRO has been patented for many uses and is manufactured in many sizes. Over time VELCRO tends to accumulate debris, which is hard to remove, and reduces the VELCRO's effectiveness and appearance. The VELCRO cleaner cleans this debris by lifting it up with prongs that slide between the rows of hooks on the VELCRO. The prongs can be sized and spaced to match any type of VELCRO made.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cleaner comb is designed to clean VELCRO. This is accomplished by having the prongs sized and aligned to the rows of hooks on VELCRO. Debris is removed by sliding the comb prongs along the rows and under the debris and then lifting it off. This is the same concept as cleaning a hairbrush with a comb. The cleaner comb could be made in different sizes to match the many sizes of VELCRO. The comb is easiest to use if the handle is approximately perpendicular to the prongs. The comb could also be doubled sided to match two different types of VELCRO.
