Abstract
A cleaning tool () includes cleaning utensil (), a handle () and a deflector vane (). The deflector vane () is pivotally attached to the cleaning utensil (), and defines a deflector surface () having a peripheral edge () which is shaped to define two side lobes () and a notch () in a central portion thereof. The deflector surface () has an edge profile () which is of an arcuate shape. Two ribs () extend in parallel from a side () of the deflector vane () which is opposite the deflector surface (). A brace () is removably secured in different positions relative to the two ribs () for determining an angle between the handle () and the deflector vane () during downstrokes, to control a level of force which presses the utensil () against a surface being cleaned.
