Keep your Great Lakes Loons Brushback scraper clean, rust-free, and ready for game day. Follow these simple steps for safe use and long-term care.
Quick answer
Use your Brushback scraper on a preheated grill to remove residue, then clean it thoroughly after each use and store it dry to prevent rust and keep the team logo looking sharp.
Why preheating matters for scraper performance
A hot grill loosens burnt-on food, so the scraper does less work and you avoid pressing hard against the grate. Let the grill reach cooking temperature for about 10–15 minutes before scraping. Skipping this step means you'll scrub longer and risk bending the scraper's edge.
Handle with care around non-stick surfaces
The Brushback scraper is designed for grill grates, not non-stick pans. Metal edges can scratch delicate coatings. Use it only on cast iron or stainless steel grates, and switch to a soft sponge for your cookware.
Store it dry to protect the finish
Even stainless steel can spot or rust if left wet. After cleaning, dry the scraper completely with a towel and store it in a dry place. Avoid leaving it outside where dew or rain can reach it.
Step-by-step use and care
- Preheat the grill: Turn on your grill and let it heat for 10–15 minutes with the lid closed. This softens residue so the scraper glides easily. Don't scrape a cold grill—it takes more effort and can damage the grate.
- Scrape while hot: Hold the scraper by the handle and push the edge along the grates with steady pressure. Work in sections, scraping front to back. Avoid pressing too hard; let the heat do the work.
- Clean after each use: Wait for the scraper to cool, then wash it with warm soapy water and a stiff brush. Rinse and dry immediately with a towel. Never soak it or put it in the dishwasher unless the manufacturer says it's safe.
- Store dry and protected: Keep the scraper in a dry drawer or hang it in a garage or shed where it won't get wet. Check for moisture before storing. A quick dry now prevents rust spots later.
