The invention relates to an interdental cleaner with a rod-shaped support which is made of a first plastic and extends along a longitudinal axis. The rod-shaped support has, at its front end, a cleaning part in the form of a cover made of a flexible plastic. A grip part is arranged at the rear end of the support, which is opposite the front end. A connection portion of the support is formed between the grip part and the cover, which connection portion shows significantly greater deformation under certain conditions.
