Weber Three-Sided Grill Brush
Weber is one of the biggest names in grilling, so it’s no big surprise that this slim Weber Grill Brush is one of the most highly rated brush options out there. It has a 7-in.-wide brush head with stiff stainless-steel bristles to clean large surfaces quickly, and the three-sided design gets into grill grates’Â nooks and crannies.
“I love the three-sided design of this brush,” writes one Amazon reviewer. “Works the best for cleaning stubborn spots in between each channel.”
Barbi-Q Grill Cleaning Bricks
Barbi-Q Grill Cleaning Bricks are a great wire-brush alternative, made from a safe abrasive material that helps clean gunk off cast iron, enamel and stainless steel grates. The grill bricks are lightweight and easy to grip, and each can be used multiple times.
“I have stainless steel grates that had some tough residue from doing some Korean BBQ ribs,” one Amazon reviewer writes. “I tried everything [under] the sun, from a wire brush to vinegar and baking soda. Nothing seemed to work. When I tried this product, it worked like a charm.” Psst! If you’re looking for more options, we also love the Grand Grill Daddy grill cleaning brush.
Traeger Grills All-Natural Cleaner
Minimize the amount of scrubbing needed to clean your grill with Traeger Grills All-Natural Cleaner. It uses a non-toxic, biodegradable, all-natural solution to break down grime, so no worries about introducing chemicals to your food surface. Just spray it on your grates, wait five minutes, then wipe down the metal to remove baked-on food and grease.
“I used this on my Traeger and the buildup literally melted and dripped down the sides before I could even start to scrub,” writes one happy Amazon buyer. “I just sprayed it on, waited a couple of minutes for it to do its magic and wiped it down with some paper towels. Works great and very little effort.”
Cave Tools Grill Scraper
Scrape food and grease off grills of all kinds quickly and safely with the Cave Tools Grill Scraper. Bonus points for the comfortable leather handle and integrated bottle opener.
“This grill scraper is so much more effective than the wire brushes,” one Amazon buyer writes. “It has notches of various sizes and shapes that allow quick and complete cleaning off the grate. The instructions suggest a lighter touch for porcelain grates, and they worked well on mine.”
Grillart Grill Brush and Scraper
You’re unlikely to meet a grill that’s a match for this combo brush and scraper. When the large brush head packed with stainless steel bristles loosens all that cooked-on food, flip it over, and the three-inch-wide scraper takes over. The 18-inch handle of this grilling tool keeps your hands safely away from the hot grill surface.
“That scraper really came in handy to get thick, tough stuff off, and the wire brush did the rest,” one Amazon reviewer writes. “To my huge surprise, the brush was spotless when I was done.”
Goo Gone Grill and Grate Cleaner
Goo Gone is known for its adhesive remover, which makes short work of all kinds of sticky residue. Its Grill and Grate Cleaner does the same to the grease, baked-on residue and more on your grill. Just spray the biodegradable formula onto the grates, then wait several minutes before scrubbing. Note that it’s not designed for use on aluminum or faux stainless steel.
“I bought Goo Gone figuring I had nothing to lose before replacing our grates and emitters again,” one Amazon reviewer writes. “This stuff is amazing! I cleaned one as a trial run, and it took the gunk right off. I cleaned all our gas grill emitters and grates in an hour.”

“I’m super happy so far with this purchase,” one Amazon reviewer writes. “After dozens of uses, it looks relatively new, and it cleans wells. The bristles have bent slightly here and there, but not drastically like most of my other grill brushes. No rusting or signs of heavy wear and tear.”

Clean your grill grates, as well as the other tools you use on it, with the Scotch-Brite Outdoor Scrubber. The mineral-coated scrubber removes burnt-on food and grease quickly and easily, especially when paired with the attached plastic handle, which allows you to put some muscle into your scrub.
“I usually buy the pumice stone bricks to clean my BBQ. The bricks usually work OK, but I decided to try this. Got great results, which I really wasn’t expecting,” one Amazon reviewer writes.
“My daughter was helping me and started to clean the BBQ when it was still quite hot. I thought maybe it was gonna burn the pad, but it didn’t and it cleaned [the grates] off quickly. I was only hoping to get the bulk off and then use the brick to finish it off. But didn’t need the brick!”
