Keeping your BBQs Clean

When it comes to cleaning a BBQ grill, choosing the right tool is crucial. A plant-based pot scrubber, like one made from sisal, offers several benefits over a metal brush.

First, sisal pot scrubbers are non-abrasive, meaning they won't scratch or damage the grill's surfaces, including delicate non-stick coatings. Making them last longer while effectively removing grease and the charring left on your grates from your summer parties.

The biggest benefit? Unlike metal brushes, sisal pot scrubbers do not leave behind metal bristles that wire grill brushes do. These pieces of metal have the potential to end up in your food and pose a health risk, to the point where Health Canada issued a standard to help reduce this risk.

Sisal is a natural material that is biodegradable and eco-friendly, making it a sustainable. By opting for a plant-based pot scrubber like sisal, you can enjoy a safe, effective, and environmentally friendly cleaning experience for your BBQ grill.
