The bristles of one section are short and rigid, the bristles of the second section are long are relatively flexible, and the bristles of an intermediate section vary in length from short to long with a substantial portion of the intermediate bristles being relatively rigid so that a suction tube can be cleaned by pressing it downwardly over the bristles. The base carries a resilient pad and a securing member such as a double-faced adhesive tape for mounting the unit upon a support surface.
