Description
A. The reason a manufacturer says use only a brass wire brush is because besides brass, there are only steel wire brushes on the market. And burrs on the tips of a steel wire will scratch the porcelain on your grate. Field tests indicate that a steel, woven mesh scouring pad will not scratch a porcelain grate. Think about it, there is really nothing available but wire bristle brushes with scrapers at the ends of them for cleaning grates.
