Extended Arms Body Cleansing Brush

Abstract

An apparatus for cleaning and treating hard to reach areas of the human body is provided. The inventive apparatus includes an elongated, telescoping handle for manual manipulation by an individual. A pair of applicators are removably attached to, and extend from, attachment supports positioned at the lower end of the handle for cleaning. An abrasion pad is pivotally and removably mounted to one of the attachment supports for abrading surfaces of the foot or back. A planar brush is also removably mounted one of the attachment supports and can be extended for brushing exterior surfaces of the foot to improve podiatric hygiene. A mirror and an applicator pad can also be attached to the supports. The upper end of the handle is curved and includes a hook member for manipulating socks onto the feet of the user.
