Plastic Bottle Cap Scrubber

Abstract

A scrubbing apparatus for scrubbing debris off a surface comprises a handle having a grip area on a first end, a support extension extending from the handle from a second end and a receiver for a bottle cap at a distal end of the support extension. The apparatus uses recycled bottle caps as a scraping or scrubbing surface. The apparatus gives the user a mechanical advantage over trying to grasp a bottle cap for the same use. The apparatus allows the user to get their hand a safer distance from a rough, dirty, wet, hot or cold surface while scraping or scrubbing the surface.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A scrubbing apparatus comprising:
 a handle having a grip area on a first end;   a support extension extending from the handle from a second end; and   a receiver for a bottle cap at a distal end of the support extension;   whereby the apparatus allows a user to keep hand a safer distance from a rough, dirty, wet, hot and/or cold surface while scrubbing the surface with the bottle cap.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the handle forms an angle with the support extension to make the handle more comfortable to use and to provide clearance while working with the apparatus. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the handle further comprises a through hole for display or storage of the apparatus. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a plastic bottle cap is pressed into the bottle cap receiver for use. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein a pressure is applied to the apparatus so that the bottle cap is pressed firmly on to the surface that needs to be scrubbed. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the bottle cap may be removed and replaced after excessive use. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  may be easily rinsed/cleaned. 
     
     
         8 . A scrubbing apparatus comprising:
 a handle having a grip area on a first end;   a support extension extending from the handle from a second end;   a through hole extending through the handle at a middle portion;   a receiver for a bottle cap at a distal end of the support extension; and   a plastic bottle cap pressed into the bottle cap receiver;   whereby the apparatus allows a user to keep their hand a safer distance from a rough, dirty, wet, hot and/or cold surface while scrubbing the surface with the bottle cap.   
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the handle Corms an angle with the support extension to make the handle more comfortable to use and to provide clearance while working with the apparatus. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein a pressure is applied to the apparatus so that the bottle cap is pressed firmly on to the surface that needs to be scrubbed. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the bottle cap may be removed and replaced after excessive use. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 8  may be easily rinsed/cleaned. 
     
     
         13 . A scrubbing apparatus for scrubbing debris off a surface, the apparatus comprising:
 a handle having a grip area on a first end:   a support extension extending from the handle from a second end, wherein the handle forms an angle with the support extension to make the handle more comfortable to use and to provide clearance while working with the apparatus;   a through hole extending through the handle at a middle portion; and   a receiver for a bottle cap at a distal end of the support extension;   whereby a plastic bottle cap is pressed into the bottle cap receiver for scrubbing the surface while keeping a user's hands at a safer distance from a rough. dirty. wet, hot and/or cold surface.   
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein a pressure is applied to the apparatus so that the bottle cap is pressed firmly on to the surface that needs to be scrubbed. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the bottle cap may be removed and replaced after excessive use. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 13  may be easily rinsed/cleaned.
