Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9706723A1] A cleaning device (1) for spot-cleaning fabrics without causing fiber damage is provided. A hand-held device (1) in the shape of tongs comprises opposing treatment means (2) such as stiff, looped fibres. In use, the stained fabric is moistened with a cleaning composition and grasped by the device (1). The fibers mechanically dislodge the stain. The device (1) is especially useful as a pre-spotter in a dry cleaning operation.
