How often should I replace my grill brush?

Replace wire grill brushes every season, or sooner if bristles are loose. Loose wire bristles can transfer to food and cause serious internal injuries, which is a real and documented safety risk. Inspect your brush before every use by pressing it against a paper towel to check for loose wires. For a safer alternative, consider bristle free grill brushes made from coiled stainless steel or nylon, since they clean effectively without the bristle ingestion risk.
