Abstract
A cleaning blade holder that has a top and bottom portion. The bottom portion of the blade holder contains a groove into which a protruding rib from the back side surface of the blade fits in order to dummy proof the orientation of the blade and to secure the fit. An alternative bottom portion contains a plurality of nodules along the bottom portion surface that interconnect with apertures in corresponding positions to the nubbins along the length of the blade body. The blade holder holds the blade body in a horizontal position allowing the edges on either side of the blade body to extend from the holder. Each side of the blade body fosters two edges. Rotation of the blade holder produces a new cleaning edge. Two other cleaning edges are produced by reversing the blade body in the holder and rotating the blade holder again between positions one and two.
