Dual brush assembly with replaceable component

Abstract

A dual brush assembly for cleaning a cooking surface. The dual brush assembly includes a handle assembly, a handguard assembly, a bristleless scraper, and a scouring pad assembly. The handguard assembly is wider than the handle assembly to protect the hand of the user. The handguard assembly further comprises a first segment and a second segment and is secured to the handle assembly such that the dual brush assembly generally forms a triangle shape. The triangle shape allows the dual brush assembly to achieve approximately equal leverage when using either the bristleless scraper or the scouring pad assembly, achieved by orientating either the bristleless scraper or the scouring pad assembly towards the cooking surface. The scouring pad assembly is further removable and replaceable such that a user can replace it when it becomes worn down due to usage over time.
