What the Heck is this

Doing some spring cleaning in the 5er, and when I emptied the silverware drawer, I found this -


It's about 8 inches long - stiff but flexible plastic, and that little patch on one end looks like the smoother half of a velcro tab.
Neither one of us can remember seeing it before, and we have no idea what it is for. Thought I'd ask before I throw it away.

Just when I thought I had all the maintenance tools I needed for my TT, now I need to buy a fancy popsicle stick to clean the toilet :S

This is the right answer, take it to the bank. Click on his link and scroll down to page 5 and see the tool in use. Cleans the seal so the toilet bowl will hold water. And don't store it back in the silverware drawer, store it in the bathroom. Use it quite often for best results. I do.

You don't need to go out and buy any. Buy the grandkids some popsicles on a stick and save the sticks.

Direct from the OP's remarks - "It's about 8 inches long - stiff but flexible plastic, and that little patch on one end looks like the smoother half of a velcro tab"

The slide Slickers that I have are about 4"-5" wide , and around 36"- 48" long..
My guess is toilet seal cleaner

Thanks for the quick replies (and a couple good laughs).
Haven't used it in seven years, but I'm kind of a pack-rat so, now that I know what it's for, I'll probably keep it.

Good thing you didn't think it was a tongue depressor.

One came with a new mh I purchased. Was told it was to clean the black rubber seal in the toilet bowl.
