Claim:
1. A device for cleaning a surface of a grill, comprising: an enclosure having at least a lower side, an upper side, and a peripheral edge; one or more motors contained within the enclosure and having one or more rotational shafts fixed with one or more rotatable brushes, the one or more rotatable brushes having a plurality of bristles, at least a portion of the bristles projecting below a plane of the lower side of the enclosure, the bristles being made of material capable of withstanding heat emanating from the surface of the grill for cleaning the surface of the grill after the grill has just been used, wherein the one or more rotatable brushes simultaneously serve as the cleaning and motive force for the device when the one or more rotatable brushes are rotated by the one or more motors; and a circuit adapted for connecting power from a power source to the one or more motors for a preset period of time upon actuation of an electrical switch connected thereto, the circuit adapted to run the one or more motors in a first direction and then an opposing direction; whereby with the enclosure placed upon the surface of the grill and the switch actuated, the circuit runs the one or more motors in the first direction and then alternatively in the opposing direction, such that the one or more rotatable brushes simultaneously support and move the device along the surface of the grill and clean the surface of the grill, the enclosure if becoming stuck at an obstruction eventually turning around due to the alternating directions of the one or more motors.
