Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The present invention relates to a brush device and more particularly to a brush device that dispenses cleaning fluid. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0002]    A persistent problem is the need to clean utensils that have been used associated with the preparation and consumption of food, particularly utensils that have been used in baking food. These utensils are difficult to clean and generally require the application of large amounts of cleaning fluid. 
       SUMMARY 
       [0003]    A brush device for dispensing a cleaning fluid may include a cleaning head section; a neck section connected to the cleaning head section; a handle section connected to the neck section; a bellows formed in the neck section to apply the cleaning fluid to the cleaning head section; a dispensing outlet valve being formed in the cleaning head section to dispense the cleaning fluid from the brush device; a handle cap being removable and formed in the handle section. 
         [0004]    The cleaning brush may be integral formed except for the bellows, the dispensing outlet valve and the handle cap. 
         [0005]    The cleaning head section may include a pair of opposing guides. 
         [0006]    The neck section may include an aperture to cooperate with the bellows. 
         [0007]    The dispensing outlet valve may be positioned on a bottom surface of the cleaning head section.
