Bowls and methods for scrubbing objects are disclosed. The bowls or optionally removable liners in the bowls include a plethora of bristles or mesh material which provides an abrasive surface against which objects can be scrubbed. The bowls may optionally incorporate extendable sections for the purpose of suspending the bowls from the sides of a sink. In one embodiment, a circular version of the bowl may be configured to double as a spinner bowl inside a salad spinner and in other embodiments apertures with abrasive material inside may be provided for scrubbing narrow items such as carrots. Larger industrial-size versions of the bowl may be constructed for use in restaurants, or for the purpose of scrubbing non-food products, such as mechanical parts. The shape, depth and diameter of the bowls as well as the type of abrasive materials used inside these bowls can vary to suit the application.

1. A cleaning device, comprising: a supporting structure configured to retain a food item, the supporting structure substantially radial, the supporting structure defining at least one opening for a fluid to pass there through;a flexible liner retainable in the supporting structure, the liner having a cleaning side and an inward side facing the supporting structure, the liner configured to define at least one opening for a fluid to pass there through, the liner comprising a plurality of cleaning protrusions extending from the cleaning side of the liner, each cleaning protrusion having a free end spaced apart from another protrusion and adjacent protrusions configured to move in conformance to an area of an object depressed against the cleaning side of the line; anda gap defined between the inward side of the liner and the supporting structure, the gap configured to allow the inward side of the liner to move toward the supporting structure in conformance to the area of the object depressed against the cleaning side of the liner and allow the cleaning protrusions to brush against and clean the area of the object depressed against the cleaning side of the liner. 2. The cleaning device of claim 1, wherein the at least one opening defined in the liner is configured to pass an egressing cleaning liquid and/or a pressurized air/gas in reaction to the object pressed into the liner. 3. The cleaning device of claim 1, wherein the supporting structure is a retaining bowl, wherein a perimeter of the bowl comprises a circular shape, an oblong shape, an oval shape and any other common bowl shape. 4. The cleaning device of claim 1, wherein the supporting structure is a ring, wherein the ring is at least one of integrated with a retaining structure and separable from the retaining structure. 5. The cleaning device of claim 1, wherein the radial supporting structure is a celery scrubber ring comprising a central scrubbing protrusion configured to scrub a trench inside a celery stick. 6. The cleaning device of claim 1, wherein the at least one opening defined in the liner is at least partially occluded by the radial supporting structure, a relation of the liner to the radial supporting structure adjustable to allow also a full occlusion of the liner opening by the supporting structure. 7. The cleaning device of claim 1, wherein the cleaning protrusions comprise bristles, fibers, and silicone nubs. 8. The cleaning device of claim 1, wherein the cleaning protrusions are one of affixed into and onto the liner and emanate from the liner and the cleaning protrusions emanate directly from the supporting structure and comprise a substantially similar durometer material to the liner substrate. 9. The cleaning device of claim 1, wherein the cleaning protrusions are disposed on the liner in areas of successively higher durometers and lower densities enabling a coarse cleaning of the object and areas of successively lower durometers and higher densities enabling a fine cleaning of the object. 10. The cleaning device of claim 1, wherein the liner comprises a lower durometer material and the cleaning protrusions comprise a higher durometer material in relation thereto, a durometer difference configured to allow a depression of the liner by an aggregate force of the protrusions depressed by an object adjacent thereof. 11. The cleaning device of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of bumps protruding between an underside of the liner and the supporting structure, the bumps configured to allow the liner to depress toward the supporting structure and the protrusions to conform to a point of depression thereof and brush against and clean the object thereby. 12. The cleaning device of claim 1, wherein the supporting structure is a retaining bowl comprising a removable bottom, the removable bottom configured to retain a separable bottom portion of the liner attached thereto. 13. The cleaning device of claim 1, wherein the supporting structure further comprises extendable arms configured to extend beyond a width of a conventional kitchen sink and suspend the cleaning device above a surface of the sink. 14. The cleaning device of claim 1, wherein the supporting structure further comprises retractable legs configured to fold-up to allow compact storage of the device, the legs also configured to suspend the cleaning device above a surface during use and to secure the cleaning device on a side during storage.
