Say Goodbye to Wire Bristles: The BBQ Daddy Is a Genius Way to Clean Your Grill

Once you buy a grill, you naturally want to have company over to show off your skills. Being the go-to host for summer cookouts is all fun and games until all the guests head home and you’re left to clean up the mess. On top of washing masses of glasses, plates, and utensils, cleaning and maintaining your grill grates can be a daunting task. That’s why having the right grill brush is everything. 

Grease, char, drippings, and other residue tend to latch onto metal grates, and without the right tools, scrubbing them clean can take quite a bit of elbow grease. Metal bristle brushes have long been the most popular grill cleaning tool, but some experts say they can be dangerous — the bristles can break off, adhere to the grill, and even find their way into your food. That’s why grilling enthusiasts are raving about Scrub Daddy’s new bristle-free grill brush.

Scrub Daddy BBQ Daddy Grill Brush

This brush by Scrub Daddy uses steam, not bristles, to clean grill grates with ease. All you have to do is wet the BBQ Daddy with cold water and clean while the grill is still hot. The brush head is made from stainless steel mesh, which, like Scrub Daddy’s other products, firms up in cold water and softens as it warms up. As the BBQ Daddy heats up, it reaches deeper into the grates for a more thorough clean.

The scrub brush uses steam from the hot grill to clean, requiring very little pressure and effort to dissolve buildup. It also has a stainless steel scraper with notches that fit onto the grates to remove tough, stuck-on char and buildup. It features a comfortable handle and a retractable hook for picking up the grates or hanging up the grill brush for storage. It even comes with a bottle opener at the base and a rotating knob on the handle for better leverage.

Amazon shoppers looking for bristle brush alternatives have given the BBQ Daddy dozens of glowing reviews. “After a friend of ours had to take a trip to the ER because of a wire brush bristle becoming stuck in her throat, I decided that that was enough writing on the wall,” one shopper wrote, adding that the Scrub Daddy brush worked better than any other alternative they’d tried. “I still can't believe it took so long for something like this to exist,” said another shopper. 

The brush head is removable and washable, and Scrub Daddy claims it’ll last at least one full season. Best of all, you can buy replacement brush heads that pop on and off in one easy motion, meaning you may never have to buy another grill brush again. Snag yours today for $37 at Amazon.
