- 21. The device of claim 20, further comprising bristles.
- 22. The device of claim 20, wherein one or more of the intersecting wiping segments is curved.
- 23. The device of claim 21, further comprising a support structure coupled to the three or more wiping segments and the bristle.
- 24. The device of claim 23, wherein the support structure is configured to couple to a motorized handle to provide at least one of vibration, rotation or oscillation to the three or more wiping elements.
- 25. A device comprising
a) a cleaning head comprising:
i) bristles; and ii) squeegee segments; and b) a motorized handle configured to move at least one of the bristle and squeegee segments.
- 26. The device of claim 25, wherein the squeegee segments intersect.
- 27. The device of claim 26, wherein at least one of the squeegee segments is curved.
- 28. The device of claim 27, wherein the curved squeegee segment is continuous and forms an inner squeegee region and an outer squeegee region.
- 29. The device of claim 28, wherein the continuous squeegee segment surrounds at least a portion of the bristles.
- 30. A toothbrush comprising:
a) squeegee elements comprising intersecting squeegee segments; and b) bristles that surround or flank at least a portion of the intersecting squeegee segments.
