I think a while back there was discussion about wire grill brushes and the potential hazards.
I saw an article where I think a fireman/paramedic made a new brush called Grill Rescue that eliminates the dangers.
No idea how well it would clean but thought I would pass it along.

According to their Kickstarter, there was so much demand, they had to push their delivery date on the brush back to this month. They do have a website for presale of the brush, $25, plus an extra $10 for a replacement head. It's basically a high density foam wrapped in a cotton cover for the head; you soak it in water, and the steam from it loosens the crud(I'm assuming the grill must be hot.). Someone else can be the guinea pig.....

 This isn't the first brush to use water/steam to clean the grate..  The video is interesting. Wording such as too lazy to clean your grill doesn't cut it. Why would you change your ways just because of a new brush?

 I wire brush my grates after removing the food while the grates are still hot. If something is stuck, it gets scraped off at the same time.  The key is; WIPE DOWN THE GRATES WITH A PAPER TOWEL after wire brushing.. If a brush has loose or missing bristles, discard it..Something else I do is to clean the wire brushes.. Spray heavily with Simple Green or a citrus base cleaner, soak (15 Min to 1 HR) then flush with a heavy stream of HOT water. May have to do twice. At this point, examine the bristles..
 If using a wire brush without the proper precautions, consequences could be very well in order.

I bought one of these Grill Art wireless brush and have used it a few times. Seems to have worked well. Has a little scraper to get in betwenn kind of.

I use a margin trowel, they are quite sturdy (used in the ceramic tile trade) and have for a long time. No notches though.
Works great for me and after that I use wadded up heavy duty foil to finish.

I have a similar scraper and it works okay although you have to lean on it more than the bristle type. No danger from loose bristles coming off with this one.

I have never had food poisoning nor had a wire bristle get in my food from a grill using a wire brush on my BBQ.

Disappointing they are now 27% higher then the last time I posted them.
