Abstract: The invention provides a cleaning implement suitable for cleaning a child's drinking cup, a “sippy cup or a sports bottle having a closable spout.” The cleaning implement may include an elongated shaft or handle, one end of which may be equipped with a cleaning brush. The cleaning brush may be relatively narrow and may be cylindrical or spherical in shape. This configuration enables a user to penetrate narrow apertures with the cleaning brush. The other end of the handle may be equipped with a shaped tip having, at least in part, an abrasive surface enabling a user to scrape stubborn stains, particles or films from hard-to-reach areas.
