Abstract

A cleaning device having a handle and one or more cleaning members. A first of the cleaning members has a first finger, a second finger spaced apart from the first finger, and a compliant member extending from the first finger to the second finger. The compliant member is constructed at least partially from a metallic material. The first finger is spaced from the second finger to accommodate a cross-member of a cooking grate between the first finger and the second finger such that the compliant member contacts the cross-member. A second of the cleaning members has an elongation and a first bar and a second bar extending transverse to the elongation, the second bar spaced from the first bar along the elongation. The second of the cleaning members is configured to be inserted between adjacent cross-members of a cooking grate and, after insertion, rotated.

a handle;
and
a first cleaning member coupled to the handle, the first cleaning member including:
a first finger including a first end;
a second finger spaced apart from the first finger and including a second end;
and
a first compliant member extending directly from the first end of the first finger to the second end of the second finger, the first compliant member being constructed at least partially from a metallic material;
wherein
