  Keeping a clean barbecue can be an involved process, but it is crucial for creating the best tasting barbecue. Several tools have been specially created just for the sake of cleaning a grill. These tools can expedite the cleaning process, ensuring that you always have the best tasting food around.
  
  

Scraper

• A scraper is a hand-held tool that is used to get most of the heavy dirt off of the grill screen. There are two sides to it: a wired mesh and wire bristles. This allows you two different options when scraping off the dirt and grilled food. It also allows you to keep your hands clean.
  
  

Brush

• The brush is one of the most basic tools for keeping your grill and barbecue clean. The brush has a handle for easy holding and some wired bristles to scrub the dirt off. Most brushes also come with a thin piece of metal on the end that can be used to scrape off baked-on dirt and grime.
  
  

Grill Floss

• Grill Floss is a newer product with a long handle. On the end of it is a grip-like feature that wraps around the bars on the grill. You then run it up and down the grill screen to clear all of the dirt off.
