摘要： A disposal brush includes a plate having a hub and a handle for manipulating the disposal brush secured to the hub. Depending from the plate is a support frame carrying elongated bristles thereon. The support frame, which is made at least in part from a resilient material, includes a central portion secured to the plate and side arm portions extending downwardly and outwardly from the central portion. The ends of the side arm portions are each bent inwardly. In use, when the bristles on the side arms engage the inner side wall of the disposal unit, the side arms are urged inwardly. The reaction of the resilient side arms is to urge the bristles thereon more firmly against the inner wall of the disposal unit so as to enhance the cleaning thereof. The bristles on the inwardly bent portions will engage the top wall of the disposal as the disposal brush is withdrawn from the disposal so as to help clean the same. In a modification, the support frame includes an axially downwardly extending portion having upwardly and outwardly extending side arms connected thereto. Each of the side arms has an upwardly and inwardly extending portion. The bristles on the side arms and the upwardly and inwardly extending portions effectively clean both the side wall and the inner surface of the top wall of the disposal unit.
