2. Description of Related Art
Cleaning internal combustion engine fluid level measuring sticks (such as oil dip sticks found in automobile engines) is messy, inconvenient, and harmful to the environment.
It is messy because one can easily get the fluid on fingers and clothing from the measuring stick itself, while actually cleaning the stick, and from the contaminated material used to wipe off the stick.
It is inconvenient because one must search for a rag, paper towel, or such material to clean the stick.
It is harmful to the environment because the cleaning material is so messy after use it is often discarded on the ground rather than carried to a trash can. If the material is washable, such as an oil rag, the water used becomes contaminated and reenters the environment.
