Abstract: Various grill cleaning tools improve the effectiveness of use compared to existing designs. The cleaning tools have a handle. A first tool includes a housing with a sleeve and/or a ring formed at an end of the handle, and a parallel array of scraping pins mounted within a pin plate housed within and extending from the housing. A second tool includes a head formed at an end of the handle; a shaft mounted on the head and secured with fastening hardware; and washers mounted on the shaft. A first set of the washers are displaced when pressed against a surface as compared to a second set of the washers that remain in a resting position. A third tool includes a planar base; a metal support mounted to the base; and an abrasive component fastened to the support. Corresponding methods of use are also described.
