         3 . The cleaning tool of  claim 1  further comprising a resiliently compressible sponge member being coupled to said flexible head portion, said sponge member disposed about a substantial portion of said head portion. 
     
     
         4 . The cleaning tool of  claim 3  further comprising a pair of resiliently compressible scrubbing pads for scrubbing debris off of a surface, wherein one of said scrubbing pads being coupled to one of said ends of said sponge member, another of said scrubbing pads being coupled to another of said ends of said sponge member. 
     
     
         5 . The cleaning tool of  claim 1  further comprising a pair of resiliently compressible scrubbing pads for scrubbing debris off of a surface, wherein one of said scrubbing pads being coupled to one of said ends of said head portion, another of said scrubbing pads being coupled to another of said ends of said head portion. 
     
     
         6 . The cleaning tool of  claim 1  further comprising an elongate resiliently flexible squeegee blade being disposed on said head portion; said squeegee blade having a pair of opposite ends and a length defined between said ends. 
     
     
         7 . The cleaning tool of  claim 1  wherein said handle has a gripping portion adjacent said proximal end of said handle. 
     
     
         8 . The cleaning tool of  claim 1  further comprising a spray pump wherein said spray pump comprises a reservoir, a nozzle and tubing therebetween. 
     
     
         9 . The cleaning tool of  claim 8  wherein a substantial portion of said spray pump being disposed within said handle. 
     
     
         10 . The cleaning tool of  claim 8  wherein a substantial portion of said spray pump being disposed outside said handle. 
     
     
         11 . The method of using a cleaning device comprising the steps of:
 Positioning the cleaning device of  claim 1  upon a surface to be cleaned wherein said surface having a corner portion;   Pressing said cleaning device towards said corner, wherein upon pressing said cleaning device said head portion will clean a substantial portion of said surface.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11  wherein said cleaning tool further comprises a head bracket attached to said distal end of said handle and wherein said head bracket is further coupled to said flexible head portion. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11  wherein said cleaning tool further comprises a resiliently compressible sponge member being coupled to said flexible head portion, said sponge member disposed about a substantial portion of said head portion. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  wherein said cleaning tool further comprises a pair of resiliently compressible scrubbing pads for scrubbing debris off of a surface, wherein one of said scrubbing pads being coupled to one of said ends of said sponge member, another of said scrubbing pads being coupled to another of said ends of said sponge member. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11  wherein said cleaning tool further comprises a pair of resiliently compressible scrubbing pads for scrubbing debris off of a surface, wherein one of said scrubbing pads being coupled to one of said ends of said head portion, another of said scrubbing pads being coupled to another of said ends of said head portion. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11  wherein said cleaning tool further comprises an elongate resiliently flexible squeegee blade being disposed on said head portion; said squeegee blade having a pair of opposite ends and a length defined between said ends. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11  wherein said surface is selected from a group consisting of a window, a windshield, a floor, a wall and a mirror. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11  wherein said cleaning tool further comprises a spray pump wherein said spray pump comprises a reservoir, a nozzle and tubing therebetween. 
     
     
         19 . The cleaning tool of  claim 18  wherein a substantial portion of said spray pump being disposed within said handle. 
     
     
         20 . The cleaning tool of  claim 18  wherein a substantial portion of said spray pump being disposed outside said handle. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 18  further comprising the step of spraying the contents of said spray pump on said surface prior to said pressing said cleaning device towards said corner. 
     
     
         22 . A cleaning tool comprising:
 a flexible head portion being capable of attachment to a cleaning handle, said head portion having a pair of opposite ends and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween and   a resiliently compressible cleaning surface being disposed on said flexible head portion, said resiliently compressible cleaning surface covering a substantial portion of said flexible head portion.
