Claim:
An over cap brush for a squeeze dispensing bottle comprising a body injection molded as a single piece, the body being formed of a relatively soft elastomeric material, the body including a circular end wall, a generally cylindrical skirt integrated with and extending continuously along an outer periphery of the end wall, the skirt defining a central axis and extending in one direction along the axis, said end wall and skirt being relatively thin compared to the length of the skirt, the end wall having a central through hole and an outer face with a multitude of bristles integral with the end wall, distributed about the hole and extending axially directly from said face in a direction opposite the one direction, the skirt being of sufficient length so as to be adapted to extend along multiple threads of a separate screw-on cap to retain the over cap brush on the cap by engaging an exterior of a sidewall of the cap in a threaded area of the sidewall while the cap is disposed on a squeeze dispensing bottle and being completely separable from the cap and wherein said skirt is at least as long in axial length than one-quarter of the diameter of the body.
