Abstract: A household scraper for cleansing kitchen sinks and the like. The scraper includes a central, curved or recessed part which is perforated with a number of holes. The scraper also includes a curved bottom edge and two side-edges which are also curved. An outwardly angled zone is provided between the central part and the lower edge. This outwardly angled zone also extends between the central part and a bottom section of the side-edges of the scraper. The scraper is made, for instance, of a plastics material and enables waste material, for instance food residues, to be collected and removed in an expedient, effective and time-saving manner. The holes provided in the center part of the scraper enable liquid contained by the food residues to drain-off while collecting the waste material.
