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 coffee grinder cleaning tool for removing coffee grinds and particulate matter from a conventional coffee grinder. The coffee grinder cleaning tool includes an elongated shaft having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end includes a brush thereon and wherein the second end includes a scraper thereon. The elongated shaft further includes a fastener, such as a suction cup, for securing the device to a support surface, such as a side of a coffee grinder. A cleaning cap is removably securable to the first end of the cleaning tool and includes an interior volume in which the brush can be positioned. The cleaning cap further includes a protrusion extending therefrom that can be used to clean the underside of the blade of a grinder.

A multi-functional paint tool including a base including a handle on first end and a channel structure on a second end; and a head including a cavity on a bottom end and a plurality of bristles on a top end; wherein the cavity of the head is slidably received onto the channel structure of the base for engagement thereon. The base can include a U-shaped opening and a hammer. The head includes a paint applicator on the top end, and in other embodiments the paint applicator may take on alternative forms.

A bottle opening brush and methods for using the same are provided. The bottle opening brush can include a body and a bottle opener. The body can include a brush head coupled to a handle. One or more bristles can be secured to the brush head and extend outwards therefrom. A handle opening can extend through the handle and the bottle opener can include an opener head. The bottle opener can be mounted to the body such that the opener head can engage a bottle cap inserted within the handle opening to remove a bottle cap from a bottle. The utility of the bottle opening brush for brushing hair can be unimpaired by the presence of the bottle opener.

A grill cleaner generally includes a wire brush formed by a plurality of wire loops extending from a brush block. The wire loops may include a solid core wire or a wire cable/cord (e.g., a plurality of wound wire strands). In one embodiment, the wire loops may be formed as individual wire loops having the ends secured in sleeves (e.g., crimped). The grill cleaner also include one or more handles to allow a user to urge the wire loops across a grate of a grill such that movement of the wire loops across the grate dislodges debris (e.g., food particles) adhered to a surface of the grate.

A tool, consisting of a flanged lever arm fabricated from a strip of rigid metal, is recessed in a channel located in the distal end of a paint brush handle, along one of the handle's lateral edges. The proximal end of the tool terminates in a flange, which is configured to be inserted under the lid bead of a paint can. Using the container bead as a fulcrum, the handle is leveraged upward so that the flange engages the lid bead and lifts it away from the container channel. To re-seal the lid, the handle is leveraged downward, so that the lever arm bears down on the lid channel and forces it into the container channel.

A barbeque grill brush (10) includes an elongated brush handle (12) with a handle grip (14) extending perpendicularly from one end thereof. The other end of the brush handle (12) includes a brush holder (16) that carries two rigid metal scrapers (30) and (32) and a brush head (34). The brush head (34) is carried by a brush attachment (36) that is adapted to be secured to or removed from the brush holder (36). The brush head (34) is comprised of a stainless steel mesh (46) covered foam (48). The foam (48) has the characteristics of being firm when cold but soft when heated.

A dosing cap (1) is proposed for a cleaning agent container (20), having a cup-shaped cap body (3) with an open end part (4) and a closed end part (5) and a brush device (2) for the pre-treatment of objects to be cleaned, the brush device (2) being configured detachable from the brush attachment arranged on the cap body, wherein the brush attachment is configured to be pluggable in such a way that the brush attachment (2) may optionally be either plugged onto the closed end part (5) or onto the open end part (4). Further, a cleaning agent container (20) having such a dosing cap (1) and a use of such a dosing cap (1) for the pre-treatment of laundry to be cleaned is proposed.

A paintbrush features a handle having a longitudinal direction with a gripping area and a first attachment element at opposite ends. A removable brush head has longitudinally oriented bristles and a second attachment element selectively matable with the first attachment element to carry the removable brush head on the handle. The first and second attachment elements are slidingly matable in a lateral direction transverse to the longitudinal direction. A ferrule is slidable longitudinally of the handle into and out of a deployed position closing around the attachment elements to prevent disconnection thereof, and a retracted position enabling removal and replacement of the brush head. The handle comprises a hollow compartment extending longitudinally into the handle from the distal end opposite the brush head. An accessory tool is removably received in the hollow compartment of the handle for storage therein.
