A grill grate scraper comprises a handle portion adapted to be grasped by a user and a scraper assembly opposite the handle portion. The scraper assembly includes a scraper head made up of a plurality of scraper blades and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism can be in an unlocked position where the plurality of scraper blades are moveable relative to one another and a locked position where the plurality of scraper blades are locked in place. Each of the plurality of scraper blades can be a rigid blade comprising a scraping portion and a rearward portion, the scraping portion comprising a scraping edge and an adjacent side surface. In one version, when in the locked position, the locking mechanism applies a lateral compressive force on the plurality of scraper blades. In another version, the locking mechanism prevents accidental separation of the scraper blades from the scraper assembly when in the unlocked position.

A cleaning tool, use thereof, and a method for cleaning a hot grill is provided. The cleaning tool comprises a hollow handle for holding a liquid, the handle having a first coupling mechanism fixed to said handle. The cleaning tool also includes a brush head having a second coupling mechanism fixed to the brush head, the second coupling mechanism releasably securable to the first coupling mechanism, a heat resistant scrubbing pad extending therefrom, and an outlet in fluid communication with the hollow handle. The outlet is positioned proximate the scrubbing pad to expel the liquid therefrom. The scrubbing pad is adapted to withstand temperatures of at least 100 degrees Celsius, such that when liquid flows through the outlet onto the heated grill, the heat of the grill vaporizes the liquid into steam, which helps to clean the grill in combination with the scrubbing pad.

A cleaning tool with a reservoir is configured with an elongated handle attached to a brush head. A knob is affixed to the center of the brush head. A reservoir has an integrated brush head and hollow handle, allowing fluid to enter the cavity of the brush head where a the absorptive material intermediately disposed between the reservoir and the heat tolerant liquid permeable material to hold and transport the cleaning liquid from the reservoir to the heat tolerant liquid permeable material. The intermediate material referred to as a squeeze sponge wicks fluid from the reservoir when a user applies force on the handle or knob and distributes the fluid. The brush head is assembled with a valve and compression spring used to regulate flow of fluid within orifices communicated between the integrated reservoir, intermediate sponge layer and valve mechanism. The cleaning tool can accommodate independent interchangeable scrubbing brushes.

The current document is directed to a new type of grill-cleaning tool that includes one or more scrapers as well as freely sliding scraping pins that conform to the surfaces of a grill to assist the one or more scrapers in removing grease and cooking debris from the surfaces of the grill. The scraping pins are rigid pins, made from durable materials, with scraping-pin shafts generally having diameters or widths of 2 mm or more, as a result of which the scraping pins are not susceptible to shedding and breakage during normal cleaning operations. In addition, unlike brush bristles, the scraping pins are spaced apart from one another and have relatively low surface-area to scraping-pin-number ratios, which decreases the tendency of the scraping pins to become clogged with grease and cooking debris relative to metal brush bristles and greatly facilitates cleaning grease and cooking debris from the grill-cleaning tool.

A barbeque chain brush includes a handle; a shaft; a brush head; including a brush head base, chain segments including connected chain links, and a brush skirt; such that the barbeque chain brush can be used to scrub a surface of a barbeque grill. The chain segments can be square or round, made from a non-corrosive metal, and can be configured as single or double chain segments, with particular width, length, and density ranges.

A grate cleaning device. The grate cleaning device is configured to wash grill grates. A pair of panels containing brush members are inserted into a housing. The panels are inserted so that the brush members on each panel face each other when they are inserted into the housing. The housing is liquid proof and configured to receive a liquid for cleaning therein. A grate device such as a grill grate can be inserted into the space between the pair of panels and slid in and out. The brush members act as an abrasive, cleaning debris from a grate such as a grill grate.

A tool for cleaning cooking grates having grate members may comprise a plate having a primary side with a primary side edge. The tool may include a plurality of elongated primary scraping slots formed in the plate. The scraping slots have closed opposite ends formed by end edge portions and sides. A plurality of auxiliary entry slots may be configured to permit movement of grate members into the scraping slots, with an entry slot being associated with each primary scraping slot. At least one of the entry slots may be in communication with a scraping slot and the primary side, and may intersect a primary slot on one side of the scraping slot. The end edge portions may be similarly shaped such that each end edge portion is able to scrape an opposite surface of the grate members without removing the grate member from the scraping slot.
