Abstract
The present invention relates to a grill cleaning tool that is comprised of a handle portion and a cleaning head portion with a removable brush head and scraper blade. The handle has a rubber grip and a hanger eye for storage when the tool is not in use. The cleaning head portion is wedge shaped to keep the cleaning head up and away from the flame. A brush head is attached vertically to the bottom of the cleaning head by a series of split snaps. Attaching the brush head vertically allows for added strength during the forward and backward motion during cleaning. A scraper blade is attached horizontally to the front of the cleaning head. Both the brush head and the scraper blade could be manufactured in a variety of sizes to accommodate any type of grill.
